Took a couple of tests to get it down. I use both vials one for the benchmark and the other for mixing the reagent. I use a small square of notebook paper fold it to make a crease to funnel in bottle. That way i can shake all the reagent out of packet and have an easier way to slide the powder into the vial. Beyond that the testing is easy. The only phosphate tester you should use By Nick on 3/22/2015 Nick would recommend this product to a friend I have basically no algae in my tank, but I wanted to make sure and get accurate results as to what my phosphate levels were versus using liquid tests which are not always the most reliable. Little did I know that according to the Hannah checker, I have zero phosphate. There is a margin of error of +\- 0.04 but even 0.04 is still very good. Very happy with the purchase. I wish hanna made a magnesium checker! Would recommend this product By BobG on 3/22/2015 BobG would recommend this product to a friend Easy to use, accurate. Purchased to extend the length of time between GFO change out. Should pay for itself over time as I was changing GFO on a schedule and it appears I was changing out too often. Great! By Patrick of Bay Area Coral on 3/16/2015 Patrick of Bay Area Coral would recommend this product to a friend This is exactly as advertised. I will not go back to my old way of testing phosphate. My only gripe is the titrant used. It comes in these tiny bags which are difficult to put into the test tube. I would give it 4.5 stars, but I have to round down for this one. Hanna Phosphate checker By Carl on 2/15/2015 Carl would recommend this product to a friend I like the larger storage container that it come in! Easy to use and reliable. Extremely accurate, no more color guessing. By Brian on 2/2/2015 Brian would recommend this product to a friend Well built, and easy to use. I only have a couple caviars; if you follow the instructions the unit will turn off while you are mixing the reagent. I recommend mixing it while using the second included vial to zero the checker. It only comes with 6 reagent packs, so be sure to order more. Also when opening the battery door, be careful to pry it straight away, do not pry it off at an angle, you will bend the connected pieces. Just short of great By ONAP on 1/19/2015 ONAP would recommend this product to a friend I really love the idea of this test meter, but the execution needs a little help. For the most part, it's great. Love the design. Easy to use. No guessing at colors, unlike other test kits. The only real issues that I have with this tester are the limited number of reagent packets provided with a new test kit, and the reagent mixing time. The instructions tell you to shake the vial for 2 minutes after adding the reagent. The problem is that the meter shuts off after two minutes. Another sixty seconds and a few more reagent packets, and this would be a five star product. GREAT By KONQUEST on 1/18/2015 KONQUEST would recommend this product to a friend no more trying to match different shades of colors ,very accurate ,these hanna checkers are stress free and very easy to use ,I am looking to get all the hanna checkers now ! Accurate and Easy to use By Dieter on 1/11/2015 Dieter would recommend this product to a friend I like this test kit. For less than $50, I find it to be a bargain. Its easy to use and doesn't take long (about 5 minutes total). It's an important tester to have if you have a reef tank. great product By Daniel on 12/28/2014 Daniel would recommend this product to a friend Very easy to use. Very accurate. Simple and accurate. By DivingTheWorld on 12/19/2014 DivingTheWorld would recommend this product to a friend This is a very simple and accurate test for phosphate. The one thing I will say though is that you need to use both test vials at the same time. The instructions talk about going through the test , then adding the powder, then shaking it up, then putting the vial back in. The shaking/mixing takes 2 minutes and the checker turns itself off during that time... So I fill both at the same time, add the powder to one, shake it up, then run through the test. Works perfectly this way with very accurate results.

This is the first time I had an issue with Pivot Works. I was short two bearings in the kit I ordered. I called Pivot Works and they promptly mailed me the missing items. Good thing we weren't waiting to race!
|4 out of 5 stars
Good product. Cheaper than OEM.
|5 out of 5 stars
Went with the full swing arm bearing kit from PW instead of trying to order all the little pieces. The bearings on my 250F were hammered upon Insp. and I needed to be leaving on a Moto Vacation in less then a week. The kit had all of parts to replace everything back to factory. It is also about 20 dollars cheaper then OEM with a lifetime warranty

totally recommend this for racining
|5 out of 5 stars
I replace the bearings once a year for good measure (mostly because I never grease them and figure they probably need it after a year of power washing...) The SA bearings are in good shape when I pull them out and I'm certain they will be next year.
|5 out of 5 stars
Money well spent. This kit came with everything needed to do the job. I also ordered the Linkage Bearing kit, which came with the lower shock bearing. Again, every thing needed to complete the job was included. And a perfect fit. If you have access to a hydraulic press, that is definately the way to go. Especially to remove old bearings that may be rusted in. Dont forget to grease your new bearings!
|5 out of 5 stars
No contest, these are the best bearings on the market.

Pivot Works kits are always high quality.

An easy install with a perfect fit. Bikes suspension is so smooth.

In society we all can't agree on everything, but there is one thing we can all agree on... Everything is better in slow motion.
This week we caught two goals on our "behind the net" cameras. First we have Mike Magee's perfectly timed run to give him his 16th MLS goal on the season. And if that wasn't enough, we also caught Alex's #BRAZILIANT shot from distance to put the game away.
Some of the best tweets from Saturday's 3-2 victory over New England are below... Have the chance to see your tweets in a future gallery, by hashtagging #cf97!
So now we have a different sort of perspective. Now suddenly the Fire are sitting in a playoff spot. Now the fight has paid off and the double comeback on Saturday night has everyone high and talking about "attitude" and "mentality" and there's a different feel. Can you tell? Off-field issues, on field disappointments, coaching decisions, refereeing - it all feels a little irrelevant right now.
Now the approach is different. Now the Fire have in some way reached their goal, they've come back and got into a playoff spot. Now the team has a little momentum again, a little confidence, a little faith in this season's various experiments.
Suddenly the Arevalo Rios/Jeff Larentowicz partnership looks as good as the Alex/Larentowicz partnership, while Alex has excelled as a utility attacker (center/left/right) off the bench or filling in for Rios on international duty.
Juan Luis Anangono finally finished and is beginning to look like a player you would spend transfer dollars on, while some healthy competition between Patrick Nyarko, Dilly Duka, and Joel Lindpere for outside midfield spots will only push them more and mean more service for Anangono.
Suddenly, the Fire look like a deep, experienced, full squad that can bring players like Chris Rolfe and Logan Pause off the bench if need be.
I just mean to say that the feeling after a dramatic and total team victory like Saturday's is so much different from the panic, terror, and anger that fans felt on and off for most of the season. Toyota Park was more energized after Alex's goal on Saturday than at any other time all year.
It feels like some fans and commentators have been calling games "must win" for the Fire since the spring, in a way that - deserved or not - everything felt like it was on the edge of a complete and utter disaster. That's sports, especially in Chicago, but now that a goal's been reached, there's a feeling that you could almost call pride, back again.
So forgive us, playoff gods, for looking to the calendar because, as Mike Magee said Larentowicz told the team down 2-1 at halftime on Saturday, "the season gets shorter and shorter now and business has to be done."
How will the team deal with being in 5th place looking down, instead of the other way around?
The Fire still have to improve on their away form if they're going to hold their position despite tricky trips to Columbus, RFK, and Dallas, before finishing the season at first place New York. And the Fire still have to take the seemingly easier points against Toronto and DC. But it's just six games and they hold their own destiny.
We know the playoff spot is the Fire's to lose, and the fans can sense that this team, with its three different phases this year, and its hot streaks and cold streaks and other hot streaks and other cold streaks - this team might just have found enough consistency to not only make the playoffs but, well, if it was too early to panic about making the playoffs, it's probably too early for the overly optimistic thoughts too, right?
Ben Schuman-Stoler is a contributor to Chicago-Fire.com. Follow him on Twitter @bsto.
So what happened there? A sequence of three controversial events stacked up to cause much of the Toyota Park crowd to boo referee Ismail Elfath and crew as they went into the interval.
The First:
With the teams locked at 1-1, Patrick Nyarko broke through the New England backline and was thought to have won a penalty just as the clock hit 44:00 after contact with Revolution defender Jose Goncalves at the top of the box.
Elfath waved play on much to the chagrin of players and fans alike but okay, no big deal...
The Second:
Maybe its conjecture but the play seemed to throw Elfath off his game.
He likely would have signaled the amount of stoppage time or communicated via radio headset to fourth official Silviu Petrescu right after that play but with some jeers raining down and the signal to play on, perhaps he forgot? Perhaps the communication wasn't received on the sidelilne?
Either way the amount of stoppage time was never put up on the board by Petrescu and as a result, never announced in-stadium. It did however make its way into the broadcast though how, I'm still trying to deduce as no official number was ever given.
In the end, we probably won't know why it didn't happen as Elfath was asked via pool reporter post-game why the fourth official didn't raise the board to signal stoppage time.
The somewhat avoidant response was, "The priority of the fourth official is to keep order in the technical area."
Which seems to suggest Petrescu was too busy dealing with both team's coaching staffs to raise the board during any point of what ended up being three additional minutes of stoppage time. Without directly answering the question though, Elfath continues to leave the incident open for interpretation.
If it's safe for me to put my editorial hat on: The Pool Reporter system is a definite step forward for the league and Professional Referees Organization but its only as good as the referees being honest enough to answer the question being asked.
Though there's nothing specific about the raising of the stoppage time signal in the Laws of the Game, the signal is something universally expected at the international and professional level.
Even if there was chaos for three minutes in the technical area (which would be an overstatement), the job of the fourth official is also to inform the players, coaches and those in attendance what that number is.
That didn't occur unfortunately.
The Third:
With no stoppage time signaled, you could make a case that the half should have ended right when the clock struck 45:00. It didn't, and in fact saw New England score their second go-ahead goal of the night when Saer Sene received a pass from Dimitry Imbongo and finished past Johnson to make it 2-1.
Should the goal have stood? Upon further review, absolutely not...
Off the goal kick in which Bobby Shuttleworth found Imbongo, the Congolese forward was aided by the use of his hand to settle the ball before spraying towards goal and laying off for Sene.
There's the old adage that you should play to hear the whistle but looking back on the series of events, it seems the teams should have gone into halftime locked 1-1.
Where do we go from here?
There's no sour grapes as the Fire overcame the controversy to take a 3-2 win in dramatic fashion at home over New England. The victory sees the team into a playoff position for the first time this season, something unthinkable following the side's 2-7-1 start to the season.
Just as good, the last two games between these two clubs seem to show a revival in the once heated rivalry between the sides.
On to the next one at Columbus.
Mike Magee already has double-digit goals in 2013.
In Regular Season terms, the six he scored in LA (three of which came against the Fire on Opening Day) combined with the nine he's tallied for the Men in Red since May have him second in the MLS Golden Boot Race with 15.
He's also scored double-digits for the Fire across all competitions, with his nine league goals combining with three in U.S. Open Cup play to give him 12 across all competitions.
Still, that long-hanging statistic of hitting double-digit regular season goals in one season for one club is there for Magee tonight as he looks to become the seventh player in club history to achieve the feat.
PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
Having appeared in just 15 games, it made me wonder if he could be the quickest to do it in a Fire shirt and then I remembered: Ante Razov...
Razov is of course the club's all-time leading scorer with 76 regular season goals in 155 games. He hit double-digit goals five of his six seasons in Chicago. It stands to reason that he might have Magee beat multiple times in this stat.
Take a look...
|Ante Razov's Double Digit Goals
|Games Needed
So Magee won't beat him but upon further review, if he bags a goal Saturday vs. New England or in the next two games, he'll be come the second fastest player to hit double-digits for the Fire after Razov. Not bad for a guy who asked for Ante's blessing before he took the #9 shirt with the Men in Red.

The Fire are proud to be a sponsor of the Great Chicago Fire Hydrants, a public art exhibition celebrating the heroism of Chicago's firefighters. The city-wide program launched on September 11, but the Fire wanted to give our fans a first glimpse of our hydrant at tonight's game before it goes on display for two months at the Hancock Plaza downtown.
In addition to the Fire and our creative team, scores of other local artists have decorated 5-foot tall fiberglass fire hydrants sponsored by Chicagoland businesses. The first hydrants were installed in various locations around the city last week on September 11. Following the public exhibition the hydrants will be auctioned on December 4, 2013 to benefit the 100 Club of Chicago, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the families of fallen police and firefighters.
Two special touches to the hydrant appear on its rings. The top honors the seven members of the club's Ring of Fire: Peter Nowak, Frank Klopas, Lubos Kubik, Peter Wilt, Bob Bradley, Chris Armas and C.J. Brown. While the club's three tenets -- Tradition. Honor. Passion. – appear on the base ring (check out the photo gallery below).
Get your photo with the Fire's hydrant located behind Section 8 during the game up until half time and in the Stadium Club post-game. Don't worry – if you miss your opportunity to get a photo, stop by the Hancock Plaza (just steps from The Chicago Water Tower) beginning next week to see the hydrant on display through November.
Be sure to tag photos with #cf97 and http://www.facebook.com/greatchicagofirehydrants or on Twitter.

Chicago Fire's Entry in Great Chicago Fire Hydrant Project
For all the talk of the Fire's possession problems, you wouldn't have known it in the first 20 minutes of Wednesday night's game in Toronto. The Alex/Jeff Larentowicz partnership hummed along like it did during the squad's hottest streak this year, a fresh looking Patrick Nyarko did his havoc-creating thing, and it all culminated with a deserved goal.
Of course, at the final whistle it was obviously a shame they didn't get one or two more during that period. But that's what this Fire does. They pull off the tough results and tend to drop the seemingly easier ones. Even on short rest, away from home (where they've struggled all year), Toronto was the perfect opponent.
And in the first 20 minutes, the Fire pretty much had their way with the ball and the field, pressing hard to win it up field, running off each other -- it was yummy. It's hard to pick one sequence but there was one down the right side in the 15th minute I loved. The Fire won the ball and played a couple fast one-touch passes before Nyarko just missed Chris Rolfe, wide open past midfield. It didn't come off, but just look at the wide open spaces in TFC's team shape.
TFC started bad. Really bad. They misplaced more balls than a dog with amnesia and the Fire took all the space they wanted. It was a veritable buffet for Rolfe, Dilly Duka, and Mike Magee, enjoying constant service from midfield as well as the enterprising Gonzalo Segares.
TFC's goal shouldn't have been the last goal of the game but it was and thankfully other results held up so the Fire are still in perfectly okay position for the playoffs. They need to pick up points down the stretch, yeah, but they're all of one point out of fifth with seven games to play. I still don't understand the doomsayers calling the season off already.
If the 14th minute, free-flowing Fire example showed everything this team can be when it flows right, Quincy Amarikwa's 78th minute chance showed what's sometimes dispiriting about them. They let points get away from them.
Off a TFC attack, Magee got the ball in his own half and turned through the midfield to play Rolfe, who spotted Amirakwa's dash inside. It was a great run because he timed it later than Juan Luis Anangono's, which was a bit too early so his defender could recover before Pause pushed close enough to goal.
Amarikwa's run came directly in front of his defender, giving Pause the angle and target he needed, and Quincy was in. He had the choice of laying off for Anangono, who was beyond the goalie and just a simple touch away from giving the Fire the lead, but he went himself. Against his own team, in on goal, Amarikwa went himself and shot right at TFC keeper Joe Bendik. Anangono (and Fire fans) were furious.
It's not outrageous for a striker in that position to go himself; actually, it's probably the right thing to do versus risk an extra pass. But it was a moment the Fire couldn't quite grasp, the kind of moment they'll need to in the next seven games if they're to keep their season going into the playoffs.
After missing yet another opportunity to jump into the Playoff spots after a disappointing draw in Toronto midweek, the Fire head back to Toyota Park on Saturday to face the team they are trying to catch, the New England Revolution (LIVE 7pm CT on My50). The Revs occupy the fifth and final Playoff spot and will be looking to put some distance between themselves and the chasing pack. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective:
Tracking Kelyn Rowe and Diego Fagundez – monitoring the Revs playmakers movement
Both Rowe and Fagundez are having fantastic seasons for New England despite their young age. For an 18 year old, Fagundez has a real eye for goal and a knack of getting into very good positions in the box. Many of his goals this season have been tap-ins, with the Uruguayan being in the right spot at the right time.
Rowe on the other hand likes to operate outside the box and is excellent at picking up the ball in the space between the midfield and the back line. In New England's last two matches against Toronto and Montreal, Rowe was allowed too much space to pick up the ball in these positions. From there, he is equally comfortable shooting from distance or running at defenders. He displayed both in the matches against the Impact and TFC.
To stop Rowe, the communication and decision making by the Fire's midfielders and defenders is very important. Defenders such as Bakary Soumare and Austin Berry must come out and close down Rowe as quickly as possible when he picks up the ball in that position. As for Fagundez, tracking his runs into the box will also be crucial.
Concentrating on team defense – cutting out individual errors and defending better as a team
In the Fire's last few matches, individual errors and lack of concentration have been the team's downfall. On Wednesday night, a piece of nonchalant defending led to TFC's tying goal while multiple players were guilty of not tracking their runners in the matches against Seattle and Houston.
Individual errors have plagued Fire defenders this season while the wingers are the culprits responsible for sometimes failing to follow their marks. As a defensive unit, the players must be focused for the entire 90 minutes, especially now because there is little room for error if the Men in Red are to make the Playoffs. Against a team with such fluid attacking play and movement as New England, lapses in concentration like these will be punished.
Getting in 1v1 situations with A.J. Soares – Fire attack must try and isolate the Revs defender
In New England's last match against Montreal, something that struck me was the ease in which Impact striker Marco Di Vaio was able to score both of his goals. Both goals were very similar, with the Italian receiving the ball in the box and going 1v1 with Soares before making a cut, losing the Revs defender and finishing with ease.
Don't get me wrong, Di Vaio is a brilliant striker but his ability to beat players 1v1 is not his strong point, his deadly finishing is. As we have seen this season, Chris Rolfe and Mike Magee are not afraid to run at defenders and Quincy Amarikwa showed on Wednesday in Toronto that his pace coming off the bench can cause any defense problems.
Against New England this weekend, I would like to see the Fire strikers take on Soares if they find themselves in a position to.
Prediction: The Fire take the frustrations of the past few weeks out on the Revs and comfortably win 3-1 with goals from Magee (2) and Patrick Nyarko.
Saturday night didn't feel good. A strong Fire performance in always difficult atmosphere at Century Link Field certainly left me feeling like the team had done enough to take something away from Seattle. In the end, that wasn't to be.
With the 2-1 loss, Fire hearts looked at three very big matches Sunday involving Houston, New England and Philadelphia, maybe lit a candle, said a prayer or crossed fingers. That sound you heard round about midnight was a huge sigh of relief as all three teams immediately ahead of the Men in Red in the Eastern Conference playoff race also went down in defeat.
Hence this blog title, as the positioning between the Top 7 in the East remains the same as it was when I wrote the first edition of 2013 Playoff Math two weeks ago, albeit with a bit of a separation between top and bottom.
A breakdown of where things stand heading into this week…
1) Montreal Impact
Current Points: 45 (13-7-6)
Games Remaining: 8 (4 home/ 4 away)
Last 5 Games: WDWWL (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-1-3 / 4-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 69
Average Opponents Pts: 35.3
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 vs. CLB, 9/17 at SJ**, 9/21 vs. VAN, 9/24 vs. HER** 9/28 @ CHI, 10/4 @ HOU, 10/12 vs. NE, 10/16 @ LA, 10/19 vs. PHI, 10/26 @ TFC
Rundown: Chronologically, Montreal's 4-1 win at New England was the second of three needed Fire results Sunday and though the Impact had only won once away to an Eastern opponent this season, showed up in droves early on as Matt Reis' fifth minute red card for taking down Marco Di Vaio set the tone for the evening in Montreal's 4-2 win.
With the win, the Impact stayed on top of the Eastern Conference (with two games in hand) and may have helped the Fire more than just in the standings as Reis will now be suspended for the Revolution's visit to Chicago this Saturday.
Given Montreal's home form, a visit from the Crew Saturday should probably see them atop the East by the time I'm writing this column next week. With games in hand on both New York and Sporting KC, the Impact hold the inside track to the top spot in the East if they can hold serve down the stretch.
2) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 45 (13-9-6)
Games Remaining: 6 (3 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: WWLDL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-2-3 / 5-7-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 36.1
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 vs. TFC, 9/22 vs. FCD, 9/29 @ SEA, 10/5 vs. NE, 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: The fact that Red Bull had never won in Houston during the MLS regular season didn't exactly bode well form them on Sunday but a smaller than normal crowd at BBVA Compass Stadium saw a few mistakes at the back which New York did well to capitalize on in their 4-1 win.
Red Bull have just six games left to play with the next two at home vs. Toronto FC and FC Dallas. Wins in those and we're either talking about them officially clinching a playoff spot or being having the opportunity to do it in Seattle on October 5.
3) Sporting KC
Current Points: 45 (13-9-6)
Games Remaining: 6 (2 home / 4 away)
Last 5: WWLLW (9pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-4-3 / 5-5-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 30.5
Remaining Schedule: 9/17 vs. RES**, 9/21 @ TFC, 9/27 vs. PHI, 10/5 @ CLB, 10/9 at HOU, 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/23 vs. OLI**, 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Sporting KC go into their bye week coming off a strong 3-0 home win over Columbus Saturday night. Like Montreal, they've set themselves up well now to balance their remaining Champions League fixtures (they next play Real Esteli on September 17) and could lock down a playoff spot by the end of September.
4) Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 39 (10-9-9)
Games Remaining: 6 (3 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: LDLDW (5pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-3-5 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 57
Average Opponents Pts: 34.7
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 vs. HOU, 9/27 @ SKC, 10/5 vs. TFC, 10/12 @ D.C., 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: Despite having a man advantage for the final 33 minutes, Philadelphia was unable to muster a point in a 1-0 defeat at San Jose in the Fire's last needed result of the night.
Philadelphia still sits fourth but only by two points ahead of Saturday's game vs. Houston, one of two very big matches with playoff implications this week.
5) New England Revolution
Current Points: 37 (10-10-7)
Games Remaining: 7 (3 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: LDWWL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-5-3 / 4-5-4
Maximum Possible Points: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 33.4
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 @ CHI, 9/21 vs. D.C., 9/28 vs. HOU, 10/5 @ NY, 10/12 @ MTL, 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: Like I said above, New England's 4-2 loss to Montreal helped contribute to everything staying the same towards the bottom of the race. They'll be without starting goalkeeper Matt Reis in Saturday's pivotal visit to Toyota Park but will still likely come in confident knowing they've won the previous two encounters between the sides this year.
6) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 37 (10-9-7)
Games Remaining: 8 (4 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: LDLWL (4pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-3-3 / 3-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 35.7
Remaining Schedule:9/14 @ PHI, 9/21, 9/25 vs. WC**, vs. CHV, 9/28 @ NE, 10/4 vs. MTL, 10/9 vs. SKC, 10/20 vs. NY, 10/24 @ AU**, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: It wasn't a good week for Houston who dropped a 2-0 to Columbus at midweek before Sunday's 4-1 thumping vs. New York. Given Houston's recent form (4 points from their last five games), Fire fans will lament the two points dropped to the Dynamo at the beginning of the month but should also be thankful for the fact the Dynamo have continued to struggle following that result.
A loss at Philadelphia next Saturday combined with a win from the Fire or New England may be panic button time for the Dynamo.
7) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 35 (10-11-5)
Games Remaining: 8 (3 home / 5 away)
Last 5 Games: LDWLW (7pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 8-4-2 / 2-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 59
Average Opponents Pts: 32.1
Remaining Schedule: 9/11 @ TFC, 9/14 vs. NE, 9/21 @ CLB, 9/28 vs. MTL, 10/4 @ D.C., 10/12 @ FCD, 10/19 vs. TFC, 10/27 @ NY
Rundown: Dropping three points late in the last two matches doesn't fill one with confidence but the team's performance at Seattle was very encouraging and they were perhaps rewarded by Sunday's trifecta of results. In reality, the weekend was a complete wash in terms of Playoff Math, so the Fire enter a two-game week with a huge opportunity.
The team faces a quick turnaround Wednesday, playing their game in hand on New England and Houston when they visit lowly Toronto FC (who fell 4-0 at Portland Saturday). A win in Ontario followed by one in Saturday's six-pointer vs. the Revs (and a draw between the Union in Dynamo in Philadelphia) would actually put the Fire into fourth place in the East with six games remaining.
TICKETS: Fire vs. Revolution six-pointer Saturday at Toyota Park
It's fair to admit no one saw the Fire being in this position following Saturday's game but as they say, that's why they play the games and there's all to play for still.
8) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 32 (9-14-5)
Games Remaining: 8 (3 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: LWLLW (6pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 6-5-3 / 3-9-2
Maximum Possible Points: 50
Average Opponents Pts: 38.6
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 @ MTL, 9/21 vs. CHI, 9/29 @ FCD, 10/5 vs. SKC, 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: In Brian Bliss' first game as interim head coach, Columbus took a huge step defeating Houston 2-0 last Wednesday only to fall 3-0 at KC Saturday night.
By virtue of their point total and remaining schedule, the Crew are certainly still in the playoff race but are at a point where any further slip-ups will probably mean the end to their season.
The MLS Team Writers Union continues to grow and so I thought, why not reach out and get my counterpart's takes on relevant questions surrounding their team in the leadup to matches...
In today's Three Questions, I go old school with one of the longest tenured Team Writers in MLS (and doppelganger match for Rob Riggle), Sounders FC's Matt Gaschk...
Jeff Crandall: With Wednesday night's victory over Chivas USA, the Sounders continue to be the hottest team in MLS having won six of their last seven matches. What has been the main contribution to the recent success?
Matt Gaschk: The greatest difference over the last seven matches has been the commitment on the defensive side of the ball. With four shutouts in the last seven matches, the defense has jumped to tops in the West, allowing just 1.04 goals per game, but it has been much more than just the back four. The defensive spark has come from all over the field and the team finally seems to have clicked into place and pulling in the same direction.
With so many changes to the roster over the off-season, it took a lot of time for people to find their roles. Now, even though they have yet to play at full strength, they have been able to find different ways to win games because the core of the team has kept them on the right path.
JC: How much do the international absences of Eddie Johnson, Clint Dempsey and the injury to Brad Evans effect Seattle's chances for three points on Saturday?
MG: Dempsey has been a tremendous boost for the team – both on the field and in the locker room, where he has helped re-energize a group that was already driven to succeed. However, his addition has been a boost to what was already a solid team, so while losing him means less talent on the field, it doesn't necessarily mean a loss in the team dynamic.
Johnson has been on fire of late with three goals and one assist in his last four matches, and he has proven to be highly important to Seattle's success. When he is engaged, he is among the more lethal finishers in the league.
The loss of Evans, if he is unable to play, takes greater effect when Seattle loses its depth. He can play so many different roles for the team, not the least of which is as a coach on the field, that when he is available it is almost as though Sigi Schmid's roster has additional players on it.
Servando Carrasco has filled in in the middle of midfield and Marc Burch has provided cover on the left side, so there are players available to fill roles, but it is the depth beyond those spots that has thinned with injuries to Shalrie Joseph and Steve Zakuani.
JC: Obafemi Martins has been out for nearly a month with an ankle injury but seems to be on the comeback trail. What has the Nigerian DP added for the Sounders this season and is there a chance he returns Saturday?
MG: After the 2012 season, Sounders FC ownership vowed to find their Robbie Keane. They sought a player with high levels of European success who is still driven to succeed at a high level when presented with the new challenge of playing in MLS. Martins fit that bill and, while he may not be on the MVP-caliber scoring clip that Keane has seen this season, he has provided a world-class striker that not only scores his own remarkable goals, but also creates space for his teammates to find the scoreboard as well.
Although he has been in and out of the lineup with injuries, his seven goals and three assists in just 15 appearances have been an offensive boost. He has yet to take the field with Dempsey – and won't this weekend while Dempsey is away on international duty – but when he does, it will make for one of the strongest attacks in MLS.

SACO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- General Dynamics has announced it is laying off 110 workers later this year at its facility in Saco.
Karl Johnson, a spokesperson for General Dynamics' Armament and Technical Products division, said the company has notified the employees about the layoffs which are set to go into effect between June 14 and July 1.
Johnson said the primary reason for the layoffs is the sharp decline in U.S. Army demand for heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers as the military withdraws troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.
The layoffs include both salaried and hourly positions, and they are all involved with the production of the heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers.
Saco Mayor Mark Johnston said company management contacted him Thursday morning about the layoffs, and he said the news is difficult to take for a community that has been hit hard with job losses over the last year.
"The immediate impact to these communities is going to be significant," Johnston said. "You won't have the money to shop in local shops, you won't be going to the supermarket as much, and you won't be going to the theatre. The impact is unbelievable."
370 workers lost their jobs when Hostess Brands Bakery closed its doors last fall, and seventy employees were out of work when Maine Energy Recovery Company, or MERC, closed at the end of last year.
Mayor Johnston said state officials will be assisting the 110 workers who will be without a job later this year.
General Dynamics representatives said Thursday the company has also offered voluntary separation packages to 15 employees who are eligible.
The layoffs represent nearly a third of the entire workforce at the Saco facility, which Johnson said after the workforce reduction, there will be 215 employees remaining.

RICHVILLE Richville Wayside Cemetery Association is considering dissolution because it cannot find volunteers willing to take over the resting place of many of the communitys earliest settlers.
The cemetery is not in a financial bind, but those who have handled its care are ready to step down.
Ive been doing it for 30 years. It means a lot to us that we might have to abandon it to the town, association President Timothy L. Stevens said. People are just afraid of getting involved. Its a lack of interest.
When the association has a meeting, the only people who attend are Mr. Stevens and his wife, Susan M., and Secretary/Treasurer Sharon Bush and her husband, Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Bush are moving away.
That kind of puts us in a bind, Mr. Stevens said.
Abandonment of cemeteries that fall under the jurisdiction of the state Department of State has picked up in recent years.
Some 172 have been abandoned since 1970. Since 2001, on average there have been eight cemeteries abandoned per year, spokesman Edison Alban said in an email.
Abandonment of a cemetery is not a voluntary event. It is the result of circumstances such as a shortage of funds to keep operating or the inability of its board of trustees to act, Mr. Alban wrote. Once a cemetery is deemed abandoned, the duty of the town to take over the care of the cemetery is automatic. The statute only requires that the grounds be maintained. However, a town would also be expected to honor the right of those who have unused burial lots. A town may choose to continue to sell lots and continue all normal cemetery activities.
Wayside Cemetery has upwards of 1,000 graves, but only about 20 lots left that could be sold. Ironically, after never selling a lot during his presidency of the association, Mr. Stevens recently fielded an inquiry.
Here it is, 30 years, and I have to look up how to do it, he said.
A lack of interest in the maintenance of the cemetery may be because people with relatives there no longer remain in the area or have died off. If Mr. Stevens walks among the gravestones on Memorial Day, there are few flags flying. There are Revolutionary War and Civil War-era markers.
Its so old, Mr. Stevens said.
The association will have a reorganizational meeting with discussion of abandonment at 6 p.m. May 23 at Richville United Church. A representative of the State Departments Division of Cemeteries is expected, as is DeKalb Supervisor Larry D. Denesha.
My plans are to attend the meeting and find out what direction folks want to go, Mr. Denesha said. We dont want to make any plans until theyre necessary.
The association cares for the cemetery through various accounts on which it draws interest. If the association dissolves, it will leave the town with its equipment and about $32,000 for maintenance.

Wine-Braised Brisket of Beef with Caramelized Pearl Onions and Dried Apricots
- 5 pounds beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bottle red wine
- All-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 10 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 6 large shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 medium leek, white part only, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup dried apricots
- 6 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 quarts plus 1/4 cup homemade beef stock or good-quality canned beef broth
- 1 cup pearl onions
- Minced parsley, for garnish
1. Season the brisket evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the wine to a boil and continue boiling until it reduces to half its original volume, 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Evenly sprinkle the brisket all over with flour, shaking off excess. Heat a heavy Dutch oven over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil. When it is almost smoking, turn the heat to medium-high, carefully add the brisket, and sear until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the brisket to a platter. Pour off the fat from the Dutch oven and add another 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the garlic, shallots, carrots, celery, and leek, and sauté until glossy and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add half of the apricots and all the parsley, thyme, bay leaves, and tomato paste, and continue to cook 1 minute more.
3. Return the browned brisket to the Dutch oven and add the reduced wine and 2 quarts stock or broth. If the brisket is not completely covered with liquid, add enough extra stock, broth, or water to cover. Bring the liquid to a simmer. Cover the pot and carefully place it in the oven. Cook until the brisket is fork-tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, blanch and peel the onions as instructed in the tips (see below), leaving them whole. Cut the remaining apricots into 1/4-inch strips.
4. In a small sauté pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat and sauté the pearl onions until lightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the apricot strips and pour in the remaining 1/4 cup stock or broth, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan deposits. Reduce the heat and simmer gently until tender, about 5 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
5. When the meat is done, carefully transfer it to a heated platter, cover with aluminum foil, and keep warm. Boil the liquid in the Dutch oven until it thickens and reduces to about 1 quart, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour it through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, taste, and adjust the seasonings if necessary with more salt and pepper.
6. To serve, use a sharp knife to cut the brisket across the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange the slices on heated serving plates or on a heated platter, spoon half the sauce over it, and garnish with the pearl onions and apricots. Sprinkle with minced parsley and pass the remaining sauce on the side.

From Wolfgang Puck Makes It Easy: Delicious Recipes for Your Home Kitchen, 2004. Rutledge Hill Press
Wolfgang's Easy Tips:
·If you can't find a 5-pound brisket at your supermarket, cook 2 smaller pieces.
·While the meat braises, keep the heat gentle since boiling tightens rather than relaxes the meat's fibers. Check the liquid in the cooking vessel and if it's bubbling more than slightly, turn down the heat. The results should be so tender that you can pull the meat apart with a fork.
·To prepare the pearl onions, bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the pearl onions and blanch them for 30 seconds. Drain and immediately immerse them in a bowl of ice and water. Cut the very ends off at the stem ends, peel the onions, and leave them whole.
· For neater slices, you could let the brisket cool before cutting it across the grain. Reheat the slices in the sauce. That makes brisket an ideal dish to prepare ahead. Just cook and slice it the day before, and reheat it in the oven in its sauce for about half an hour at 300�F before serving.

|Theft, Fraud Charges Filed by Blowing Rock PD
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 27 March 2013 07:15
Several arrests made last week by Blowing Rock Police, including one suspect charged for a series of thefts from Tanger Outlets. Captain Miller responded to Tanger Outlets to a report that a white female had taken some merchandise from Sketchers. A vehicle driven by Sherry Newell Billings,
42, of Sparta, was stopped leaving Tanger, merchandise stolen from six different stores at Tanger discovered in the vehicle, according to Police. Billings was charged with six counts of misdemeanor larceny.
More fraudulent check-passing that has hit area Food Lion stores continued last week with the store in Blowing Rock reporting a fraudulent check passed last Friday, leading to the arrest of a suspect by Lenoir Police. Police say a black male entered Food Lion and used a counterfeit check and a fake identification to obtain $271.69 in merchandise and cash. Food Lion employees became suspicious of the check and contacted police, with officers Lance Dotson and Anthony Biard concluding that the check was indeed a counterfeit. The same suspect had attempted to pass checks at the Food Lion stores in Boone and Deep Gap, according to Blowing Rock PD, and other Food Lion stores in the area were alerted. Saturday, the suspect was arrest by Lenoir Police trying to pass checks at stores in Lenoir. The suspect was identified as Jeremy Dennis, 27, from Charlotte. Officer Dotson secured warrants for Dennis's arrest. Dennis was processed and held in the Caldwell County Jail.

PAWTUCKET — The story on Saturday afternoon wasn't so much that the Pawtucket Red Sox assembled a mammoth sixth-inning rally to snag a 7-1 Game 1victory over the Rochester Red Wings at McCoy Stadium, but instead that David Ortiz played a key role in it.
The 37-year-old designated hitter, on a 20-game rehab stint with Pawtucket after suffering a right Achilles' injury in a triumph over the Chicago White Sox last July 16, delivered a two-run ground single to right to help his club extend its lead to 4-1 – and continue Pawtucket's finest-ever start to a season.
Ortiz, who had been 0-for-3 before that hit, later jogged home on Drew Sutton's double; he closed 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored. He also fanned once, but still was batting a solid .429 afterward.
Actually, it's been a pretty good rehab start for "Papi," as he went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run, again as the DH, in a 5-4 home-opening win over these Red Wings.
After that injury, Ortiz did return to Boston for one game on Aug. 24, but he was placed on the disabled list the next day and didn't play again.
"I thought David was outstanding," stated skipper Gary DiSarcina following a similar 7-1 verdict in the second game. "He swung the bat really well … I think he's having some normal soreness from playing, but I though he's progressing well.
"I didn't have much time to talk to him after the (opening) game, but he said he was good," he added. "He looks great the dish and his bat speed there. He's not having any issues with (the Achilles), and we're for whatever he needs … We love having him here, but the big thing is getting him ready for (the parent club)
"The bottom line is David's a big leaguer, and he knows what he has to do to get back."
Offered shortstop Jose Iglesias: "I talked to David afterward, and he said he's fine. He felt good. That's why he's here. He's just taking it one day at a time and trying to get his rhythm back. He's healthy, which is great."
In that pivotal sixth frame, reliever Anthony Slama walked J.C. Linares, and both Jeremy Hazelbaker and Brock Holt reached on bunt singles to load the bases for the fourth time.
Slama then walked Iglesias, plating Linares with what proved to be the game-winning run, and Red Wings manager Gene Glynn brought in lefty Caleb Thielbar to face Ortiz, who promptly drilled a 2-0 pitch into right to score Hazelbaker and Holt.
Iglesias raced in on Ryan Lavarnway's deep sacrifice fly to right fielder Joe Benson, but second baseman Brian Dinkelman failed to field the relay cleanly, allowing Ortiz to get to second.
The good news: He looked OK doing it. Ortiz had hustled more than halfway to second on the fly, and had to sprint back to first. Upon seeing the ball skip past the bag, he popped up from his slide and ran back to second.
With two down, Thielbar hit Brandon Snyder, and both Ortiz (from second) and Snyder scored on Sutton's two-bagger down the right-field line.
Ortiz didn't put much effort into racing the final 90 feet, as Snyder wasn't that far behind him.
In Ortiz' first at-bat (he was hitting third behind Iglesias and in front of clean-up Lavarnway), he ripped a 1-2 pitch from Shairon Martis right at first baseman Jeff Clement, and – in his second – he struck out on an 88 mph heater on a 1-2 count in the third.
As for the third time at the plate, in the fifth, he lofted a soft liner (on a 2-1 delivery) at second baseman Brian Dinkelman.
Ortiz was unavailable for comment following the twinbill; he apparently left the park, knowing he wouldn't play in the "nightcap."
As for Ortiz' slide, DiSarcina explained, "He's got to slide before he goes back up there (to Fenway). It may sound silly, but sliding is a fundamental. For David to go out and slide and come out of it healthy, that's fantastic."
Righty starter Terry Doyle pitched superbly in his five-frame outing. The Salem, N.H. native now residing in Warwick, yielded just two hits and a walk while fanning a quintet. All told, he threw 66 pitches, with 41 of them strikes, and now has a stellar 0.79 ERA.
Villareal, who pitched just one-third of the sixth, allowed only a hit and earned his second win of the campaign. In the seventh, Chris Carpenter did walk a pair but also whiffed two.
"Terry pitched really well," DiSarcina stated. "You don't want pitchers to go too long. We had our (relievers) ready; we were off (because of Friday night's rainout), so you want to get them some time. You've got to be careful with pitchers (in cold weather)."
Offensively, Lavarnway closed at 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run; Snyder 1-for-1 with two walks and a run; Linares 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run; and Sutton 1-for-2 with two RBI.
The Red Wings did jump out to a 1-0 cushion in the top of the first; Chris Hermann led off with a walk, then moved to second on Oswaldo Arcia's groundout to short. Chris Colabello singled to left to plate Hermann.
Pawtucket, however, answered that run in the second to tie it at 1-1. Lavarnway started the mini-flurry with a single to left, took second on starter Shairon Martis' walk to Snyder, then strolled to third when Sutton drew a base-on-balls.
With the bags juiced, Linares' knocked a roller to third baseman Ryan Sobolweski, who couldn't make the play, and Lavarnway scored with ease.
At that point, the game became frustrating for the Sox, who in the next two frames loaded the bases but failed to score.
In the fourth, Brentz led off with a double off the right-field wall, and he raced to third on Snyder's ground hit to left. With runners at the corners, Pawtucket tried to execute a delayed double steal; while Snyder began to steal second, he got caught in a pickle and later was tagged out by second baseman Dinkelman.
Sutton then walked, and – with two down – Hazelbaker drew a free bag as well to fill them up, and that's when Glynn yanked Martis in favor of southpaw Tyler Robertson. He allowed Holt to scorch a liner to left, but Colabello hauled it in for the third out.
As for the fifth, Robertson got two quick outs, the second on Ortiz' whiff, but immediately yielded Lavarnway a bloop single to right and Brentz a hit to center before walking Snyder.
Glynn lifted Robertson for Slama, who got Sutton to ground to short to end that threat.
The trio of Rubby De La Rosa, Graham Godfrey and Anthony Carter combined for a two-hitter with only four walks and nine strikeouts to lift the Pawtucket Red Sox to a 7-1 triumph over Rochester in the doubleheader finale before 4,091 fans at McCoy Stadium on chilly Saturday.
De La Rosa went only 2 1/3 innings, yielding only a hit and two walks while whiffing a quintet, but that's because he was on a 50-pitch count. The 24-year-old prospect, acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 4 to complete a nine-player trade Aug. 25, finished at 50 and threw 27 strikes.
Then there was Godfrey, a 28-year-old righty whom Boston acquired from Oakland for pitcher Sandy Rosario last Dec. 7, who was magnificent on this day. In 3 2/3 innings, he didn't allow a hit and walked one with five strikeouts.
As for Carter, he closed the seventh and allowed a hit and walk with one "K."
"I felt good out there; I was on the pitch count, but I felt like everything was working," said De La Rosa. "I felt really comfortable. I also felt like I could go longer, but I'm just doing what they tell me. I felt 100-percent comfortable with my delivery, my release. It's coming along good."
Stated manager Gary DiSarcina: "Like Rubby, Graham struggled out there for the first couple of innings, but he got stronger as he went along. I especially liked his last two innings of work. He had good fastball command, a good breaking ball; he pitched quickly and pitched to contact, which is what you want from him."
Despite how well Pawtucket's hurlers did, not just in the "nightcap" but in Game 1, another 7-1 victory, as well, left fielder Mark Hamilton stole the show. The 28-year-old left fielder finished 2-for-3 with two doubles and a whopping four RBI to pace the club.
Center fielder Justin Henry also helped, going 3-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored, while Jeremy Hazelbaker, another solid prospect, went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a pair of runs.
Righty starter Virgil Vasquez, who tossed four frames and scattered seven hits while allowing three runs (all earned) and a walk with three whiffs, took the loss and fell to 1-1.
The Red Wings dropped to 2-7 overall.
In the end, as they had in their opener, the PawSox put together a sixth-inning rally that broke the contest wide open. With that four-run total, they not only swept this doubleheader but also improved to 8-1 on the young season.
Drew Sutton started it with a ground single to right off of reliever Bruce Pugh Jr., then hustled to second on a wild pitch. Pugh then walked Dan Butler before Hazelbaker reached on a bunt single to load the bags.
Rochester skipper Gene Glynn replaced Pugh with southpaw Mike O'Connor, who managed to whiff Brock Holt and got Jonathan Diaz to foul out to left, but Henry's single up the middle plated Sutton. A few seconds later, Hamilton responded with a three-run double down the right-field line.
In the top of the seventh, Carter issued a free bag to Brandon Boggs, and – with one down – yielded Eric Farris a single to center; that sent Boggs to third. But the righty forced Ray Olmedo to ground to short and fanned Doug Bernier to close the contest.
Just like the first tilt, the Red Wings snatched a 1-0 lead in the opening frame. De La Rosa did whiff both Chris Hermann and Oswaldo Arcia, but Chris Colabello pounded his fourth dinger of the season just onto the berm in left.
Pawtucket, though, didn't need long to tie it. With two outs in the back half, Justin Henry whacked a single to right off of righty starter Virgil Vasquez, and Mark Hamilton plated him with a double that one-hopped the left-field wall.
The PawSox took their first lead an inning later; Drew Sutton opened the rally, slamming a hit to right, and Dan Butler pushed him to second with an opposite-field, bloop single to virtually the same spot. The two moved up on Jeremy Hazelbaker's sacrifice bunt, and Sutton trotted home on Brock Holt's sacrifice fly.
Hazelbaker made it 3-1 after crushing starter Virgil Vasquez' fastball into the right-field bleachers.
The home club mustered a threat in the fifth when Vasquez walked both Henry and Hamilton. Glynn quickly opted to replace his pitcher with Pugh, who got Bryce Brentz to ground into a double play. With Henry at third, Snyder flied to center to end the inning.
That just set up a second round of late-game heroics.
EXTRA BASES: The PawSox didn't make any moves on Saturday, though Boston did recall righty pitcher Alex Wilson on Wednesday. Wilson became the first player to be promoted this season.
A total of 23 Pawtucket players received such a call last season.
In the finale of this four-game set against Rochester at 1:05 p.m. today, righty Steven Wright (1-0, 2.70 ERA) will take on southpaw Andrew Albers (0-0, 1.93) before beginning a four-game home series against Lehigh Valley on Monday at 6:15 p.m.
In that contest, righthander Allan Webster (0-0, 0.00) will face a hurler still to be announced, while lefty Chris Hernandez (0-0, 3.12) will do the same in a Tuesday matinee (12:05 p.m.).
On Saturday, April 27, after the Sox' 6:05 p.m. game against the Columbus Clippers, a fireworks display to oldies music will take place.

Falling Waters Follow Up: Post Irene
Last Saturday, in the final moments of ordinary weather leading up to Irene's arrival, I took some time to enjoy the Falling Waters Trail in Franconia Notch. On Sunday, I hunkered down all day during the storm, and after seeing what Irene unleashed in my own front yard I simply could not resist a return trip to Falling Waters. I tried imagining what 13 inches of rain in one day's time would do to the falls, and I was nothing short of astounded at what I found upon my return.
I made my way onto the trail bright and early today, arriving just as the White Mountain National Forest reopened after closing at 6pm on Saturday. I have been on this trail many times, and I know it well. As I walked along the familiar grounds dodging the usual roots and rocks, I enjoyed big breaths of cool morning air and the aroma of fresh spruce. After about one tenth of a mile, however, any semblance of familiarity disappeared and water was the obvious culprit. The landscape had been transformed, or rather, demolished, with uncompromising force. The Walker and Dry Brooks had clearly joined forces in their race from Irene, and they had surged through a space that was simply too small for their amalgamation. In places, an excess of two feet had been carved out of the existing trail. Roots were emergent from both sides of the trail, and boulders the size of dormitory refrigerators were strewn about.
I lumbered through the new landscape trying to conceptualize the force that caused this damage. There was no doubt in my mind that if anyone had been here during Irene, they would have met an ultimate sort of fate. A juggernaut was here.
Below are four pictures, taken of the same falls from my August 27th blogpost (link will open in new window for side-by-side comparision). The differences in the look and feel of the photos, when compared to their pre-Irene counterparts, is incredible. Keep in mind that these are not carbon-copy photos, but are instead similar compositions that lend themselves to an exhibition of the changes.
Additionally, a short video composition is available on my YouTube Channel. Stop over and have a look if you wish to see this incredible amount of water in motion; in High-Def!
I'll end with a tip of the hat to the US Forestry Services for announcing the day-and-a-half long closure of the White Mountain National Forest. After seeing the destruction on the trail, there is no doubt in my mind that lives were saved as a result of this precaution.
Until next time, happy trails and do take care!

The flames would not subside on the body of Sgt. Rick Yarosh.
His Bradley Fighting Vehicle was hit with an improvised explosive device on Sept. 1, 2006, while traveling in a convoy near Abu Ghraib, Iraq. Sgt. Yarosh, the vehicles gunner, had caught on fire, and broke his leg when he jumped out of the vehicle. His attempts to drop and roll were successful only in lighting the ground around him on fire, Sgt. Yarosh said, and he started to accept the possibility he was going to die.
I was OK leaving at that point, the Army veteran told a crowd of about 40 at Jefferson Community Colleges Jules Center Amphitheater on Wednesday.
Sgt. Yarosh was at the college to talk about the ability to overcome adversity.
He survived the flames after rolling into a nearby canal, but the fire took a tremendous toll on his body.
In addition to suffering second- and third-degree burns to about 60 percent of his body, he lost both ears, his nose, multiple fingers and the function in both hands, and had his right leg amputated below the knee. The water in the canal was so dirty that he also was diagnosed with cholera and aspergillosis, with doctors cutting into his hands to remove bacteria. He spent more than six months at a military hospital at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, before he could be released.
Sgt. Yarosh has spent about the past six years telling his story of recovery, since first speaking to a Texas church group in July 2007. His experiences since the attack, he said, have changed his outlook of what happened and his willingness to accept death.
I look back and I cant accept that, because Im so happy here today, he said.
Wearing a black polo shirt of Windsor High School, where he graduated in 2000, he talked about his decision to join the Army in April 2004, which he called one of the proudest days of his life. He also talked about his time in uniform and his recovery.
I didnt know what I could go through before I did it, he said. I had to go through this. I couldnt fall back and say Im happy with my situation.
Sgt. Yarosh also emphasized the need for people to surround themselves with positive people, like his parents and doctors during his recovery. As one example, he said, he walked independently for the first time since his injury during a therapy session, after his doctor pulled away his walker.
He needed to pull that away for me to realize I could do what I didnt think I could do, he said.
Sgt. Yarosh also told attendees about a recent spin he had on the phrase Everything happens for a reason, which he said he had heard often since his injuries.
Everything that happens in your life you can turn it into a positive thing, he said. I made it for a reason.

They rely on support for raising funds to make this important "first step" in first response a reality in the lives of kids hoping to make this an important part of their future. "Clinton Power Station supports our community first responders and this important contribution to interested kids will pay dividends in coming years," said Mark Kanavos, plant manager. "This is just one of the many worthy educational-related efforts backed by our employees throughout the year."Clinton Power Station is located approximately six miles east of Clinton, Ill.

There is "no magic bullet" when it comes to filing your taxes. Doing your own taxes is not easy. In the last two years, the IRS has made numerous changes to the Schedule D, replaced the Schedule D-1 with a more complex Form 8949, and introduced new requirements for brokerage 1099-B reporting.
All of this came down in a whirlwind catching taxpayers, CPAs, and brokerages by surprise. The net result is that trader taxes have become much more complex than they were just a few years back. For example, one issue that gets overlooked by many traders is the fact that...
Popular tax programs were not designed for active traders. You might also be surprised to learn that popular tax programs like TurboTax® and H&R Block Deluxe® import the same brokerage provided 1099-B profit and loss information, with absolutely no way to verify its accuracy or make adjustments. In addition, most of these programs are not equipped to handle more than a handful of trades.

A bloke walks into a pub, and the landlord is astonished to see that half of his head is an orange!
The man orders a drink, and the landlord, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, says to the man 'Excuse me mate, but how on earth did you end up with one half of your head being an orange?'
'Well, it's a funny story,' says the man. 'A few years ago, I was working in the Middle East and one day I came across a rusty old lamp. I thought it might be worth a few bob, and I rubbed it on my sleeve to see if there was any kind of a hallmark. Well the next thing I knew, there was a puff of smoke and there in front of me was a burly, eastern looking bloke on a magic carpet, and he said to me,' 'Master, you have released me from my prison and in return I'll grant you 3 wishes.'
'Well' says the bloke to the barman 'He didn't need to tell me twice!.
Straight away, quick as a flash I said 'Right, well my first wish is that I'm married to one of the most beautiful woman in the world', and immediately, beside me appeared Kylie Minogue, in hotpants and everything, with a wedding ring on her finger'.
'Jesus' says the barman. 'So what happened next?'
Well, I was delighted obviously' says the bloke 'But realised I didn't have the funds necessary to keep a woman like Kylie in the manner to which she's accustomed. So straightaway I said to the genie 'Now I want a million pounds in my bank account, and I don't want it to ever run out, no matter how much I spend'. Next thing I knew, I was holding a bank statement showing that my account had one million pounds in it!'
'That's incredible' says the barman 'And so what was your third wish'
'My third wish' says the man, 'was for half of my head to be an orange'

Hi everyone. I know I've talked to a lot of you about this already, but I'm going to need to know how many clans are interested in competing as well as some input on server settings.
On a CTF note, I would prefer to keep things old school with default weapons and items as opposed to using proximity mines, etc. Another thought is, would it be better for league play to start with all weapons or leave that default as well?
At any rate, I'm curious to hear your thoughts, suggestions as well as what clans would be interested in competing in either or both CA and CTF.
