And I too love post #382
Re #383:
Oh, of course not a criticism, just kind of a small dig, eh? Yeah, small potatoes, as Weir has definitely been accused of much worse, and as he's said before, he's heard a lot worse things said about him in men's rooms.
BTW, I believe Johnny was 11 when he was turned onto figure skating watching Oksana Baiul skate at the 1994 Olympics. After he began taking skating lessons, having graduated from practicing in the corn field behind his family home, Johnny had to make the momentous decision of whether to give up training to become an equestrian or give up training to become a figure skater. Not unlike the decision many young athletes who pursue more than one sport must eventually make.
Yes, falling_dance, so you believe Weir made the choice to go with figure skating at the age of 12 because he felt it was going to be so "lucrative." Tell that to his Mom and Dad. At that age, most young skaters don't even know if their parents are going to be able to continue paying for ice time, much less for coaching and skating equipment, and travel to competitions. In the end, Johnny made the right decision, of course. He may have dreamed of becoming a star, but I doubt anyone who eventually becomes successful, initially made the decision to skate because they thought it would be "lucrative."
Now, as for tennis players, another think entirely!
Orson Welles
Fwiw, I think Johnny made the choice to go to figure skating after seeing Oksana in that pink-feathered get-up or as a voidy swan...
Circa late 1950's or so.... Tatiana Nemtsova (URS) as a voidy swan

the dancing in West Side Story: yay or nay?
Coming from materialistic me, and considering the incredible expense of participation in the sport, it's not a dig at all. I have only Johnny Weir's appearance on Howard Stern to go by, in which (IIRC and apologies if I've misremembered) he made it clear that the boom in skating's North American popularity had a lot to do with the family's judgment call in making the switch (that and, of course, his unignorable talent). I don't doubt that his dream was based on more than --he's too much of an artist for that to be true--but such worldly considerations have probably kept some of the greatest talents ever out of competitive skating. Perhaps he would've danced professionally instead. Anyway, for all I know, 50s equestrians from non-aristocratic backgrounds lived in hovels.
The 1950s skating world was one which thought it a bad idea to let Mabel Fairbanks join a club and skate in Olympic-eligible competition. As much as I love the sport and appreciate the talents of Button, Scott, Albright et al, I can well understand why a conscientiously nonconformist artist and athlete would taking his or her capacity for dreaming elsewhere, however young one was.
David Winters-dancer as one of the Jets in West Side Styory. The short boy with the blonde hair. He's won a bunch of Emmies and awards throughout the years-choreographed for Elvis, Ann Margaret, etc etc....
He's trying to produce a movie with several SYTYCD dancers...Russell, Brandon, and a girl who won in Canada....He's trying to get my husband Richard to come take photos-used his photos on his facebook PR. Pretty cool.
So-West side story dancers....yes!
1. West Side Story - Yay
2. Don't see another question...
Ethan Hawke movies:
Dead Poets Society
White Fang
Great Expectations
Snow Falling on Cedars
Training Day
Relistening to the Howard Stern interview, I see that I've made a mistake (another grain of sand for the towering oceanfront castle). I still find it easier to envision 1950s Weir onstage in New York than on the ice at Cortina d'Ampezzo. Le shrug.
Weir haters:
Me (Hey, I'm even more surprised than you are! Who's the next target of my bile? ? ? Michelle Kwan?)
Homophobic men muttering lascivious epithets in ice rink restrooms, oblivious to the irony and their own obdurate stupidity?
By "me" I suppose you mean yourself my dearest f_d.
Some highly recommended books:

You materialistic, falling_dance? Ah well, Johnny may be materialistic too re his furs, love of clothes and glam lifestyle he seems to lead off-ice. However, he does have his grounded side having grown up in rural Pennsylvania to a normal lower-middle class family. Yes, the 1950s, fascinating era -- David Halberstam's The Fifties is a great read, btw -- also the subversiveness of Douglas Sirk's 1959 film, Imitation of Life. I can totally see what you mean re Johnny as a dancer onstage in the 1950s -- especially the fact he really would have had a much harder, nearly impossible time as a figure skater in that era with his insistence on being himself. Back then you were in the closet, or else! Come to think of it, Johnny could not have been Johnny back then. Really would love to see Johnny on the dance floor -- wonder if he will ever get the chance to be on DWTS.
Thanks for your further explanation re your "lucrative" reference. I think Johnny's conversation with Howard Stern was kinda akin to being in the men's room in any case. Lots of tongue-in-cheek, not to mention cheekiness and references to body parts. Johnny was brave to be on there. But I guess he's used to facing his fears and bearing up for a challenge.
For me, it's a tossup between The Heiress and Strangers on a Train. I'll go with the latter because I haven't seen the 1997 adaptation of Washington Square.
Best performance in the 1959 Imitation of Life:
Lana Turner's
Juanita Moore's
Susan Kohner's
Lana Turner
Brat pack actors:
Robert Downey Jr.
Judd Nelson

Re Imitation of Life actors, have to say Juanita Moore re the major roles; John Gavin and Troy Donahue in the supporting roles (Donahue was a young actor in a number of memorable tv series)
Re Brat packers:
Downey Jr. and Rob Lowe have had the most significant post Brat-pack era success, but I have a soft spot for Anthony Michael Hall

congrats getting the right holster is always a plus. it helps with concealing it and wearing it all the time.
This is a discussion on Just got my Highnoon... within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; ...and I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with it! This is the second IWB that I've tried. The first was a quick buy ...
...and I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with it! This is the second IWB that I've tried.
The first was a quick buy at Sportsman's Warehouse, a Bianchi 100 (I think that was it). That thing felt so incredibly uncomfortable, and I was pretty depressed when it said it fits the HK USPc...barely, I found. I bought it because I needed SOMEthing to get me through until my Crossbreed Super Tuck arrives. I returned it and got the money for something different.
Well, I went to the Highnoon Holsters website, looked them over, and found the Split Decision and saw that it was an item kept in stock! The price was right so I figured what the heck and ordered one for my XD-9SC. It arrived yesterday and wow, it felt so much nicer and fit so much better than that other one!! It comforted me a bit and gave me faith in other, higher quality holsters. The best part is that it also fits my HK USPc like a glove too! It's just a single clip-on IWB, but I didn't really notice too much movement or anything as I carried yesterday.
Just passing the word along, that if you're looking for something relatively inexpensive, and that could be shipped out that day, check this holster out. I feel it's a good buy!
congrats getting the right holster is always a plus. it helps with concealing it and wearing it all the time.
Do you have any idea how hard it would be to live with yourself if your loved ones were attacked and killed, and you had to stand there helplessly because you were unprepared for that day?
I use a Split Decision for my Kel-tec P11 and works great.
I use a Mr Softy for my Kel-tec P32 and works great.
I use a Bare Assets and a Topless for my S&W 6946 and they both work great.
I use a double mag holder from HNHs!
As you can see, I do like Highnoon Holsters!
Here is some pics of the Bare Assets (non tuckable Spit Decision), Topless and double mag holder!

I just ordered a Bare Asset from them for my PT145. I'm not sure IWB carry will work for me and didn't want to blow $100 on something I wouldn't use. For $30 I'll take a chance.
I'm a child of the 60's, but I got over it.
The Bare Assets works well because it is not very thick and the metal clip works great.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" - George S. Patton.
KingAirDriver nice to see you here. Glad you like your highnoon.
I got a bare asset for Christmas but it was for the wrong gun. I'm waiting for my new one to get here.
I like it b/c the clip is very strong and I think I will be able to wear it without a belt for short periods.
I'm still waiting on my Highnoon Closing Argument I ordered back in October...How's it going OEFM?
and it was not a bod holster...took months...
Try Fist, Inc...never had a holster take ober 4 weeks (for ALL 2 doz +)
Give 'em a try...

I've been using a "Hidden Ally" tuckable for several months. It's great; whatever shirt I'm wearing becomes the "cover" garmet. The only down side is - I had to start wearing t-shirts again under my shirt, since I hate the feel of gunmetal against my side, and I don't want to drown my XD 9 SC in sweat....

The Romance of Elaine HTML version
17. The Triumph Of Elaine
Half carrying, half forcing Elaine down into the water, Del Mar and his two men, all four
of the party clad in the outlandish submarine suits, bore the poor girl literally along the
bottom of the bay until they reached a point which they knew to be directly under the
entrance to the secret submarine harbor.
Del Mar's mind was working feverishly. Though he now had in his power the girl he both
loved and also feared as the stumbling- block in the execution of his nefarious plans
against America, he realized that in getting her he had been forced to betray the precious
secret of the harbor itself.
At the point where he knew that the harbor was above him, hidden safely beneath the
promontory, he took from under his arm a float which he released. Upward it shot
through the water.
Above, in the harbor, a number of his men were either on guard or lounging about.
"A signal from the chief," cried a sentry, pointing to the float as it bobbed up.
"Kick off the lead shoes," signalled Del Mar to the others, under the water.
They did so and rose slowly to the surface, carrying Elaine up with them. The men at the
surface were waiting for them and helped to pull Del Mar and his companions out of the
"Come into the office, right away," beckoned Del Mar anxiously, removing his helmet
and leading the way.
In the office, the others removed their helmets, while Del Mar took the head-gear off
Elaine. She stared about her bewildered.
"Where am I?" she demanded.
"A woman!" exclaimed the men in the harbor in surprise.
"Never mind where you are," growled Del Mar, plainly worried. Then to the men, he
added, "We can't stay any longer. The harbor is discovered. Get ready to leave
Murmurs of anger and anxiety rose from the men as Del Mar related briefly between
orders what had just happened.
Immediately there was a general scramble to make ready for the escape.

I have resisted looking at Tim Tams since I began this column for the very selfish reason that I really like them and what you don't know, can't hurt you.
But, as it is school holidays, and conveniently these have arrived on shelves as a "treat pack" of five biscuits I felt it was probably time.
My daughter has also just learned the trick of biting off both ends and sucking a hot drink through the centre, so there have been quite a few Tim Tams through the house.
Packaging treat foods in smaller packets is a great idea because it gives just enough for a treat, but not enough for a full-on binge. Kids (and adults) are more likely to stop when the packet is empty and in this case five biscuits is a good number for a couple of kids to share.
• Sugar - These are high in sugar, of course. You will get 10.1g per 21.3g biscuit which is 2.4 teaspoons.
• Wheat flour
• Vegetable oil (contains soy) - This will most likely be soybean oil as it contains soy.
• Milk solids - These are the solids left over when you dehydrate milk.
• Cocoa butter - I like it when chocolate products include cocoa butter as it means the chocolate is going to taste better and it is a high quality chocolate. Some chocolates use oil instead.
• Cocoa mass - This is ground cocoa beans which form a paste.
• Golden syrup - This will be in here for flavour.
• Cocoa powder - Cocoa as you would use in baking.
• Colours (E150c, E160B) - The first colour is caramel III (E150c), which is made by heating sugars with ammonia. The second is annatto (E160B), which is a natural dye taken from the seed coat of the tropical annatto tree.
• Emulsifiers (E322 (from soy), E476) - These are soy lecithin (E322) and polyglycerol polyricinoleate (476), which is made from polyglycerol and castor oil.
• Salt - Raising agent E500This is good old baking soda.
• Flavours - These will be artificial as no mention is made of natural flavourings.
My recommendation
Well there's not too much to complain about here. There's artificial flavouring and I don't like caramel colouring because of the process it takes to make it. And these are high in sugar.
But, as a treat, there are some good simple ingredients in here and the packaging of a treat pack is a great idea.
• 2.4 teaspoons of sugar per Tim Tam
• 5 biscuits per pack which discourages binging.
• School holiday treat food.

Toby Knapp
The Campaign
December 2010
Released: 2010, Shredguy Records
Rating: 4.0/5
Reviewer: Robert Williams
Toby Knapp is the ambitious mastermind responsible of such underground greats as Waxen, Darken, and the best kept secret from Century Media's early millennial roster, Onward. Toby is also a very respected and noteworthy guitarist in shredder circles, having blazed a trail as a solo artist, both early on in his career and presently, as he continues to release solo album's in addition to his regular axeslinger duties in Godless Rising.
On THE CAMPAIGN, Toby offers up nine fresh and unique tracks. Diversity is key on this album, there are all kinds of different feels and textures from the melodic riffage of album opener "The Campaign" to the death metal brutality of "We Are Legions" to the more hard rockin output of "Wicked".
There are some instrumental numbers up for offer here, which is perfectly OK as Toby is always the center of the listener's attention, but there are also some pretty cool guest appearances that come in the form of Dean Sternberg (Into Eternity)Jeff Gruslin (Godless Rising, Vital Remains)and Attila Csihar (Mayhem)who I believe offers up the most interesting collaboration. It's worth mentioning that a few years back, Toby Knapp came close to joining the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem, so this may be as close as we will ever get to hearing the fruition of what could have been from that kind of unholy union.
Toby Knapp never disappoints and I find many of his albums continuing to warrant many repeated listens. THE CAMPAIGN is a safe bet in that regard, though as not as consistent in style as any of his other projects I am aware of, the diversity can be appreciated for what it truly is, Toby handpicking and assembling the right voice for the right songs.

Packers' Donald Driver embraces special teams, hopeful for Saturday
Green Bay – There was a strange, awkward sight on the Green Bay Packers' sideline last weekend. The team's all-time leading receiver – a receiver with 49 catches, 675 yards and three touchdowns in 14 career playoff games – has been rendered a spectator this postseason. Phased out.
Donald Driver hasn't caught a pass since Nov. 18. He has been inactive four of the last six weeks. The offense, the game-day roster have seemed to move on without him.
So "a couple weeks" ago, Driver came to the coaches with a request. He told the staff he was open to playing special teams.
"I said, 'I'd like to play special teams if you guys need me,' " Driver said. "The thing is when you've played this long in your career, they don't think that a veteran guy wants to play because sometimes it's like a kick in the... I didn't think that. I didn't think that at all. I looked at it as an opportunity to play and have fun. That's what I want to do. I asked them and they said, 'Sure.' I'm back on it. We'll see. We'll see."
In the portion of practice open to reporters Wednesday, Driver was getting plenty of work on the Packers' punt return team. He said he's a backup on several special teams units. Also, after practice Thursday, coach Mike McCarthy indicated that wide receiver Jarrett Boykin (ankle) would not be ready for Saturday night's game.
Maybe Driver has a shot. He believes he'll be in uniform on Saturday night at San Francisco.
"I think I will be activated," he said. "We'll see."
That's music to the ears of his droves upon droves of supporters. The Facebook group/petition "Activate Donald Driver" surpassed 41,300 "likes" Thursday afternoon and is rising exponentially. Driver heard about the group through his marketing agent and said he greatly appreciates the support.
But he also doesn't want to create any postseason drama.
"I love the fans to death," Driver said. "They know how much I love them. So to sit back now and to go talk about that, you're just putting more gasoline on the fire. I don't think you have to. I love the support. That shows how much I mean to this community. And that's love.
"It means everything to me. That shows what you've done. On and off the field, people appreciate that."
Earlier this week, McCarthy called Driver "a class act ... a pro's pro" with how he has handled everything.
"What he means to this organization is obviously well-documented," McCarthy said Wednesday. "He's had an incredible career. As far as being inactive, that's never easy for anybody. Our inactives is something we work through during the course of the week and that decision will be made at the end of the week."
It's hard to argue with Green Bay's decision to sit Driver. When Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, James Jones and Jermichael Finley are all healthy, there isn't much room for anybody else in Green Bay's offense. Driver says he is open to playing anywhere, adding that he'll stay ready at wide receiver in case someone goes down. Playing special teams is his best route to returning. And in that sense, he has come full circle.
This is how Driver made the Packers in the first place in 1999.
"If you feel like you'll do anything for this organization to make this team win — if that means playing special teams, going out catching punts, kickoff, whatever — then do it," Driver said. "I've done all of it. If they want me to play defense, I'll play defense. You do whatever you can to help this team be successful, so that's what I want to do."
Driver admits "I didn't prepare myself" for being inactive, but being a 14-year veteran has helped him deal with this all. "You can't get mad" 14 years in, he said.
Maybe he's active, maybe not. With Green Bay on the verge of its divisional postseason clash with the San Francisco 49ers, Driver doesn't want to be a distraction.
"I've never been one of those guys who gets upset and gets frustrated," Driver said. "You can get frustrated because it's the competitive side of you. Outside of that, I don't like to cause any drama that doesn't need to be caused. If there doesn't need to be any drama, why start something?"

The pressure on the hot water side on the kitchen faucet and the bathroom faucet has diminshed drastically. Need some troubleshooting ideas to determine what is wrong. Thanks, Joe...
The pressure on the hot water side on the kitchen faucet and the bathroom faucet has diminshed drastically. Need some troubleshooting ideas to determine what is wrong. Thanks, Joe...
Look for a corroded galvanized fitting. (Of course, you can't tell it's corroded without taking it apart )
I had one on my water heater (after 7 years of use) that had an effective diameter smaller than a pencil. I replaced it with a brass nipple. I hate galvanized steel pipe for water supply.
The "Senior Member" designation under my name doesn't mean I know a lot, it just means I talk a lot.I've been a DIYer since I was 12 (thanks, Dad!). I have read several books on various home improvement topics. I do not have any current code books I can refer to. I was an apprentice plumber for two years.
I agree with Fencepost, but also check the screw-on AERATOR at the end of the spout of each fixture (this can be chrome or plastic)---this should screw right off with hand pressure or a pair of pliers; wrap a small piece of electrical tape around it first to avoid scratching the chrome finish.
Block the drain with a rag or paper to avoid losing the parts down the drain.
Make sure you note the SEQUENCE ORDER IN WHICH THE PARTS ARE INSTALLED---getting the order wrong on re-assembly is another major reason for low-flow.
You'll see a screen inside that may be clogged, along with a washer, sometimes another screen, or perforated disc---soak them all in vinegar for 1/2 hour before re-assembly---turn on the water full blast to see if there is enough flow in that particular line---if the flow is restricted with all spout parts out, look elsewhere, like a tempering valve in the cellar, which can be opened & closed several times to loosen any accumulated crud.
Some of these one-handle faucets have a diverter valve that sometimes wears out, restricting flow.
Google the brand name of the faucet, such as "Peerless faucet parts assembly" to get an exploded diagram of the faucet.

Does it only happen on the hot side at these two faucets? If so then it is not the areator. It might be the stop under cabinet. You can try and loosen the supply tube and crack open the stop and see what kind of pressure you have then. How does it affect the shower or tub?

2.3% Medical Excise Tax Obama and the Feds Want to Keep Secret
People are going to hate me for this… or love me. Just know that this seems to be the facts… Painful as it is, an article I was sent had this info….
The receipt (pictured) spells out what Obama and the feds want to keep secret – the middle class is being heavily taxed despite all the fatuous rhetoric of Democrats who invariably play the class warfare card to sell their confiscatory taxation policies.
"The 2.3% Medical Excise Tax that began on January 1st is supposed to be 'hidden' from the consumer, but it's been brought to the public's attention by hunting and fishing store Cabela's who have refused to hide it and are showing it as a separate line item tax on their receipts," the email states.
Now being skeptical of this I went to the IRS website and found this!
Q1. What is the medical device excise tax?
A1. Section 4191 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes an excise tax on the sale of certain medical devices by the manufacturer or importer of the device.
Q2. When does the tax go into effect?
A2. The tax applies to sales of taxable medical devices after Dec. 31, 2012.
Q3. How much is the tax?
A3. The tax is 2.3 percent of the sale price of the taxable medical device. See Chapter 5 of IRS Publication 510, Excise Taxes, and Notice 2012-77 for additional information on the determination of sale price.
So being more curious I clicked on "Chapter 5 of IRS Publication 510" And WALLAH! What do I find under "MEDICAL DEVICES" under "MANUFACTURERS TAXES"? Manufacturers Taxes The following discussion of manufacturers taxes applies to the tax on:
- Sport fishing equipment;
- Fishing rods and fishing poles;
- Electric outboard motors;
- Fishing tackle boxes;
- Bows, quivers, broadheads, and points;
- Arrow shafts;
- Coal;
- Taxable tires;
- Gas guzzler automobiles; and
- Vaccines.
- IRS.gov
I think we have definitely been fooled, if we believe that the Affordable Care Act is all about healthcare. It truly does appear to be nothing more than a bill laden with a whole lot of taxes that we the people have yet to be aware of!
Aw great, more good news for your pocket book.

Diwali is a five day festival of light celebrated by Sikhs, Hindus and Jains around the world. It's one of the most colourful and significant fest...
In India, the ancient festival of Diwali, also known as The Festival of Lights, is undoubtedly its biggest and most important festival. With the desire to teach my young children my own Diwali traditions, we take a trek to our local Little India. Since sweets form such a central part of the celebrations, we spend a lot of time choosing them carefully.
Diwali, also known as the "Festival of Lights," is a time-honoured Indian cultural festival. It is a tradition that conveys a universal message of hope and peace that transcends all borders and faiths. It is a wonderful opportunity to bring community together and to celebrate our diversity. It's one example of the many cultural celebrations available to Calgarians throughout the year and I am always thrilled when I participate, because I come away with such a feeling of pride and hope for our future.
I began to question religion at a very young age. I suppose my early interest in science and constant observations of the mistreatment of women in Hinduism and Indian culture played a large role. Thankfully, I was raised by an intelligent, progressive woman who welcomed and encouraged my critical thought. Even as I started to question religion in general and mine in particular, I continued to celebrate Diwali. It seems to be the one day of the year where the whole country puts aside its trivial differences, lights up, and celebrates together as one. That's a holiday that even the most crotchety atheists, this one included, can celebrate.
If we really want to have a conversation about integration and the joyousness of diversity in the country, we should be discussing whether Canada, founded on the Judeo-Christian values of the English and French, is ready to consider introducing other religious days, such as Lunar New Year or Diwali, to the official roster of statutory days off.
You may have noticed some of your South Asian friends lighting small tealights or cooking up traditional Indian sweets over the past few days. That's ...

The interest in Stuart Holden just keeps on growing and the chances of him returning to MLS in 2010 continue to shrink.
Burnley became the newest EPL team linked to a move for the U.S. national team midfielder as he heads toward the January transfer window ready to field offers as a free agent. Holden is out of contract and holds a UK passport, making him an ideal transfer target for English clubs looking to boost their chances of improving in the second half of the season.
And the Houston Dynamo? The club has made improved offers to Holden, but simply can't compete with the type of offers Holden is receiving from England. The Dynamo is holding out hope that Holden chooses to stay in MLS, but each passing day makes it appear more likely that he will be the latest American to make the move across the Atlantic.
Onalfo a good pick for D.C.
Curt Onalfo is already being labeled a re-tread by some D.C. United fans disappointed in his appointment as the team's new head coach, but the label is a bit unfair for a coach who enjoyed his share of success in his only other head coaching job.
Onalfo took over a severely underachieving Kansas City team that had missed the playoffs two straight seasons and helped the Wizards reach the Western Conference final in his first season. The club improved its record in year two before falling to eventual champions Columbus in a hard-fought first-round series. Kansas City struggled in year three under Onalfo, but the Wizards pulled the plug on Onalfo's tenure before he had a chance to salvage the season.
Onalfo is young, well-respected and takes over a D.C. team with much more attacking talent than he ever had in Kansas City. If he can succeed in building a suitable defense and help D.C. United's dangerous attack find some consistency, Onalfo should enjoy as successful a first year in D.C. as he had in Kansas City.
Lastly, those wondering when Onalfo will get his chance to face the club that fired him. D.C. United opens its season against Kansas City on March 27th.
Beasley sidelined
Maurice Edu made his successful return from knee surgery last weekend, but not all news was good news for Americans in Scotland. DaMarcus Beasley missed Rangers' 4-1 win vs. Hibernian with a thigh injury picked up in training. He was expected to miss two to three weeks, but Beasley stated on his Twitter account that the injury wasn't as bad as first thought and that he could be back training by the end of this week. He will be hoping to be back in time for Rangers' showdown vs. Celtic on Jan. 2.
Capello gives Beckham World Cup boost
Just when you thought David Beckham's hopes of making the England World Cup team were 50/50 at best, now comes word from England manager Fabio Capello thathe will include Beckham if Beckham is fit and playing regularly for AC Milan, which he is set to join on loan.
'I don't look at age, I look at qualities and Beckham has lots. He's serious, he's a great professional and the World Cup is incredibly important to him," Capello said of Beckham.
What do you think of Holden's situation? Think there's any realistic chance he comes back to MLS? Looking forward to the pre-game handshake between Peter Vermes and Curt Onalfo when KC meets D.C. in the season opener? Relieved to hear Beasley's injury isn't that serious?
Share your thoughts below.
Hey Ives – is it a forgone conclusion that Rico Clark leaves Houston as well? I read reports that he has been linked with Celtic and Burnley of late.
spector got a lot of time as a sub today, anyone know how he looked?
no kidding. ESPN2 doesn't exactly get the primo game from week to week do they? They did get Chelsea on Boxing Day, but even that was kind of a snoozer.
Ives- The Washington Post in my hometown newspaper but you are lapping The Insider with information…even on my hometown club. I come here on the reg now.
Goff, are you reading? Step it up. Your information trickles in. Stop keeping bankers hours.
I was in LA for Christmas and saw that Repulica Deportiva said that C. Blanco to Veracruz is off because VC would have to pay Club America a transfer fee (150k?). Any word on this. I can't imagine Blanco would risk not having a club leading up to the World Cup. Perhaps back to Chicago with a big pay cut?
He looked a little shakey at first, but then he settled in, he was marking aaron lennon who just is a horrible match up for spector, his teammate on that side had to constantly track back and help him. Just my opinion but I don't see spector starting vs england in the world cup, he's just to slow, with joe cole and lennon on the wings we will have to match the speed they bring and Spector just can't stack up, plus that would limit our wing play especially since he'll be on the same side as dempsey.
I think Stu to Burnley would be a good move, Burnley play a nice attractive style they just need depth. I think to say MLS can't match Burnleys offer is not true they could match it, its just houston wasted their DP on Landin. If MLS had free agency then Stu could probabaly get a DP spot on another team, but they don't so he's off to Burnley, good for him.
Fans are never happy. They want a guy with MLS credentials because the league's rules are so unique, but if you have coached in MLS before you are a retread… Whatever.
Curt, welcome aboard. Let's add some speed up top, muscle in the back and make some noise. 2 years is too long.
Dude, Goff is on vacation till next year. Let the man have some time off.
That said, I appreciate the info you give out on all the teams, Ives. I just hate when other people try to start blog wars on blogs that aren't even theirs.
If Spector was able to handle Kaka and Robinho and Luis Fabiano and the Spain wingers he should be able to do fine vs England, I think Dempsey playes much better with Spector behind him, I mean realistically who do we have aside from Spector and Cherundolo? Dolo isn't faster!
I think he should be starting considering he has a bunch of EPL experience, and then you have Dempsey, Donovan with his upcoming Everton short loan and maybe Holden off the bench or if we play with a 4-5-1 he'll be there too! Wow Sunderland scored again!
Sorry trying to watch Blackburn to figure out how good their mids are, I think Stuart Holden can play on this squad easily, they are not very strong at midfield specially the wings!
Timmy, Rico had strong interest from Serie A's Livorno right after the Confeds Cup in the Summer Transfer window, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to go with them unless they are pretty deep at the holding mid position!
But the guy has proven to be capable to play in games vs Brazil twice, Spain and Egypt so I'm sure he'll go somewhere, specially since it's a free transfer!
But I am praying is not Celtic, I root for Rangers and that is where out 2 American boys are ( Edu & Beasley ) plus they are dirty in Scottland and Racist, I recently saw the tackle in which Edu got hacked vs Celtic or someone at the end of the year last season, it was nasty let me tell you!
Rather him go to Italy, much better defensive oriented league to ply his trade and become more of a destroyer, I could even see him developing his long range shooting which is pretty good for someone who hardly spends any time going up
Nothing wrong with speaking the truth JC, and lord knows Goff has some readers on his site who love to dog SBI. In the end, there's a reason SBI crushed the Insider for Best Blog.
Dude, we lost that game, and Kaka and Fabiano played a big part in Brazils resurgence. I think its a lot to ask of him in that game and Dempsey doesn't track back in national team games, the only way I see spector is if Dempsey is a forward and stu is that rightsided mid, because he is more of a two way player. But we'll see right?
I think much like Landon, Holden can make a real impact.
Probably move either of those EPL teams up closer to 10th place.
I feel sorry for Holden, there is no way he really wants to play for those loser teams, but money is important.
MLS is doing the right thing. I think this will be a real test to see how far away MLS is away from keeping the talent at home. Looks like they are close…but maybe not quite there ?
Timmy, It has been reported several times that Clark has made it known to Houston that he has no intention of re-signing with MLS.
There was interest from Livorno previously, but they've publicly stated that the interest is dead for right now. They have bigger problems to fix right now.
I'd imagine he has several opportunities to mull over.
Landon Donovan is the best American soccer player (arguably). But Stuart Holden is not so much worse that he should want to play in MLS and make a tenth (or even a fifth) of what Donovan makes.
And where Donovan seems to have an uncanny ability to maintain great international form while playing in an inferior league, he is most likely the exception that proves the rule. Holden needs to go to Europe, perhaps to a middle-of-the-road club, make the money he deserves and improve himself. It just plain makes sense. Sorry MLS. Maybe treat all teams and players as equals and you wouldn't face this problem every single effing transfer period.
Christian Castillo just signed with DC, he is from El Salvador, he's the one who gave Frankie Hedjuk a Salsa lesson near the corner flag in El Salvador until Bradley came to rescue Hedjuk from further embarrassment!
He also outjumped Heydude for the 2nd goal, literary reversed T-Baggying him, and in Salt Lake City he scored the go ahead goal that El Salvador was up early after Bornstein's mess up.
He's fast and was playing in Mexico's 2nd division, they pay much better in that 2nd division than in El Salvador's best team!
He should be good with Fred, Pontius, I don't know if they are bringing Luciano Emilio and Chritian Gomez back?
They should be able to draft a good CB in the draft!
I want DC to get good again but need to go all out in Concacaf Champions League if they qualify again! No matter how "crowded" the schedule is, I'm tired of hearing MLS coaches complain about it, Europe if you're good or compete for the Cup you have 2 games a week over half of the season!
We have Frank Simek. He's a good option at right back, I watched him play against Newcastle United and he played well.
I think Alexandria hit it on the head. Spector is our best option at RB. There really is NO doubt about that, no matter which was you cut it – and you make it sound like he's slow, which he's not. He's just not as "quick" as Lennon.. but his positioning often makes up for that when issues arise.
The problem comes if/when Dempsey doesn't track back to help out (which is quite often, especially as the game progresses). From the few instances that Holden has taken that role and Dempsey moved up, we have seen a much better result from the entire right side. And it lets deuce do what deuce does so damn well! We can hope CD will be to top form by WC time, but that might be too much to ask. Otherwise, BB should keep deuce up top or come up with a plan so that deuce doesn't have too many defensive responsibilities.
I am certainly excited about Castillo and am familiar with his exploits against the USMNT. I was under the impression that he would be a wing player possibly replacing Fred, however. If he can play up top and off of Pontius I would be very happy.
In the back I would like a big central defender to put with Jacovic who played great last year, and Namoff who is older, but very steady. Where Wallace ends up remains to be seen. I think his future might be on the wing until his defense improves.
i agree completely with that idea but i wonder if spector would be suitable at left back with cherundolo at RB. i know those positions aren't 100% interchangeable but it bothers me when our biggest area of need (LB) goes unsolved while we have to sit one of two competent RB's in spector and dolo
I can easily see Holden fitting into the Burnley style. More so than Blackburn to be honest. Either way, I'd love to have another Yank to root for in the EPL, regardless of what team he plays for.
Spector got torched repeatedly by Lennon today, but it's really not his fault. Lennon is in amazing form and damn near unstoppable these days when he takes off down the wing or cuts in towards goal. I actually thought Spector did an admirable job in positioning and recovering, and he was great with the ball at his feet. I think he's probably still our best option at right back. I love Stevie C, but he'd probably have even more trouble with Lennon.
Various reports on the internet say Burnley and Celtic are interested in Ricardo Clark…..Both of those moves would be excellent for Rico
Holden to Burnley would be good as well, its funny that Rico was linked with Burnley yesterday and now Holden is linked with Burnley today…..it would be very neat to see both at Burnley, though a Celtic move for Rico would be very nice
Ives, I have to ask this…..
Eddie Johnson isnt getting any time a Fulham and it might make sence for him to come back to MLS this Jan. Has there actually been anything said by Johnson or his agent of late?
Nelson Mandela
"Onalfo is young, well-respected and takes over a D.C. team with much more attacking talent than he ever had in Kansas City."
C'mon Ives…Josh Wolff and Claudio Lopez.
(SBI- I'd go with Moreno, Quaranta, Gomez, Pontius, Fred and Castillo over Wolff, Lopez and Arnaud. That's just me though.)
DC Josh
Amazing that going into the 2009 MLS season everyone including myself was questioning whether or not Holden could step into the playmaking role vacated by DeRosario at Houston. He admirably stepped into the role, took it over, and flourished in several positions on the pitch. He has also made a huge impact on the national scene in the minimal chances he had on the right wing and in the Gold Cup.
Dude has skills, I have only respect for him. Like every other Yank who moves across the ocean, as long as he gets significant playing time I don't care where he goes in ENGLAND. -10000% chance he goes to Scotland. Vegas would scoff at the idea of placing odds on it it's so unthinkable.
Okay help me out here, is DC not bringing back Fred, Emilio, Gomez AND Moreno?
I think Wallace is best at left mid but he could probably play left back on a more traditional 4 man back line?
i like what you have there, ahm. I wouldn't be completely opposed to spector at LB and Dolo at RB, if that's the best possible option. Especially since spector has done pretty well there when given the opportunity for West Ham– very dangerous cutting in from the left with his right foot. I'm not sold 100% on Bocanegra at LB, even though he did play there often for club.
I think we can all agree that it's a clusterbang back there and BB will choose something that most of us will find nonsensical and BB will end up either looking like a genius or looking like a fool. Either way, I can't wait! ha
i definately agree ives
The Holden link for Burnley is bogus. That reporter can't tell the difference between Clark and Holden, and used language clearly discussing Clark with Holden's name–"tough guy central midfielder" is not Holden. Because you know all Americans just look alike, and the reporter couldn't bother to check that there are multiple Dynamo players hitting the transfer market as free agents. The Clark Burnley rumor is valid, the Holden one is not.
I don't want to see either player go to Burnley (for one I support Rovers 'nuff said) Burnley are the poorest club in the Prem (financially) and now that the home form has been knocked down a bit I think they will be firmly in the relegation race by mid feb. Also Burnley is pretty decent in the middle and on the wings.
Charles, as for refering to mid table PL teams as loser teams that holden would never want to play for you need to remember that those teams are 20 spots higher in the league than the clubs Demerit and Simek play for, Most MLS players would kill to go to a mid table PL team even without the money.
JR, the reporter also might have trouble telling the difference between lancashire clubs that are interested in dynamo players and have the letters "b-u-r-n" in there names.
Goff is on vacation, FYI.
haha, other comments from other sites keep saying stuff like " well the reports call Holden a defensive midfielder and wikipedia calls him an attacking midfielder"
The only reason I find that funny is because I'm the guy who put up on Wiki that Holden is a " verstile attacking midfielder".
Not to mention that Blackburn has been top six or seven in the Premiership as recently as 2008, they've just had a bad season or two.
Isaac, that is funny. Though he's certainly not a defensive midfielder in any case.
I think that Ives' blog has a broader reach, as Goff does work for the Washington Post (and has other duties).
haha yeah. Although he's got some serious bite in his tackle. Just ask Carlos Johnson.
I honestly feel that Holden should go to Blackburn or Rangers. Both are teams that Holden has a good chance of getting steady minutes for; off the bench or from the first whistle. I don't expect him to do it right away, but he's got quite a work rate that can't be ignored by any so I would predict at the least two or so weeks before he gets into the 18. I sort of prefer Holden go to Blackburn; Aside from England being a place where he can improve his technical abilities, Blackburn is a team with some distress because they seem to be in poor form. They're not in any sort of relegation battle, but they're definitely not where they want to be.
tim from texas
Defensively, indeed he did
I assume you will get more than your fair share of criticism here, but it is Rangers, and not Celtic that is setting the low standard for behavior in Scotland. It is ridiculous to suggest otherwise. The truth is the Bhoys are completely clean and Rangers are somewhat clean with some bed elements (especially in the supporters' base).
Ives, if you're still following at all..
I've noticed you repeatedly push the money angle for these transfers.."Dynamo not able to compete" etc.
But don't you think the much bigger issue is the chance to really test yourself with the best?
I remember reading a Clint Mathis interview where he reflected on Donovan saying something along the lines of.."why are you wasting your time with MLS".
Of course, I can see how it's a great thing that Donovan plays a bit of an ambassador role for MLS… and that's great. But you only live once. He's been the ambassador for years now.
I mean to say… that if you're a good amateur player (no money, just for fun), it's normal that you just want to keep playing for better and better teams. Good players want to test themselves. Of course, the money is important (it's their careers), but it just seems that from my perspective you put too much of an emphasis on it.
Just my two cents.
DMB hurt? Color me shocked.
Well made points but to play devil's advocate — is it so shocking that LD might want to help build our domestic league, especially with a big paycheck now (likely more than he could make in Europe). He'll have his EPL loan and time with the USMNT to prove himself on the bigger stage, too. Not to mention the LA vs Liverpool lifestyle, weather, etc.
Touche' 🙂 As a Dynamo fan I'd love to keep him, but as a USMNT fan I really want to see him across the pond.
Chris in Belfast
Right, because Celtic fans haven't been videoed singing racist songs and breaking up the moment of silence during Armistice Day this season.

About the Instructors
Dr. Carl Sanders is an associate professor of theology at Lancaster Bible College's Capital Bible Seminary. He has taught at college and seminary levels since 1999 at several schools: Bethel University (St. Paul, Minnesota), Northwestern College (St. Paul, Minnesota), and Washington Bible College in Washington, DC, where he also served as chair of the Bible and theology department (2003–2012).
Dr. Sanders is well liked by his students for his down-to-earth presentation of Bible doctrine. Students quickly learn that he enjoys talking about theology and has a quick wit. Among his strengths as a lecturer are his ability to distill information to essential elements, as well as his good-natured way of fairly explaining differences in theological positions. Dr. Sanders has a keen interest in urban ministry and has served for many years in racially diverse urban congregations. His interest in local-church experience helps him practice theology in ways that reflect the diversity present in the body of Christ. He strives to make theology interesting and practical.
Dr. Ronn Johnson, lecturer in biblical studies at the University of Northwestern St. Paul, Minnesota, has been the senior pastor at his church, Coon Rapids Evangelical Free, since 2006. He previously taught in the Bible departments at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College (1991–1994) and The Master's College (1994–1996).
Dr. Johnson is well known by his students for demanding that they think about what they believe instead of being passive listeners. His approach is the opposite of proof-texting—simply quoting Bible verses without consideration of what they might mean in context. His goal is to drive home the point that the Bible is more than a collection of verses to be memorized and thrown into play—it's a message from God that had a clear, coherent purpose that we need to hear without imposing our own traditions on the text. That approach of loyalty to the Bible above all else comes through in his Mobile Ed sessions on Bible doctrine.
He and his wife, Susan, have three teenage children. His pastimes include reading and giving too much attention to Kirby, the family dog.

text: A trendline in technical analysis is an upward sloping or downward sloping line that connects at least two price points. The trendline identifies the current trend that the stock price is in: an uptrend (for an upward sloping line) or a downtrend (for a downward sloping line). The price points that the trendline represents stand for the support and resistance levels for that stock. As long as the stock price follows the trendline, then it is following the trend. Once the price penetrates the line, it is a significant event in technical analysis, because it could be signaling the beginning of a change in trend.

Good Eats in Lilydale, MinnesotaAuthor: Nancy A.
Date of Trip: July 2006
We recently took a a short side trip around the Twin Cities, Minnesota. We ended up in Lilydale, which is near Mendota, Minnesota, just south of St. Paul. We found a wonderful restaurant there called Osteria I Nonni.
Try their homemade gelato, especially the chocolate flavor. Menu items are cooked from scratch using fresh foods, they use real white tablecloths and provide excellent service. It's a family-owned dining and wine experience. (They have their own wine room too). You cannot go wrong when the owner does an after-dinner checkup to see that you had an excellent meal.
All members of our party who delighted in the dinner at Osteria I Nonni came away saying that it was a fantastic dinner and offered super ambience. We'll all come back again.
Next door is the well-known, (former St. Paul) Italian deli, Buon Giorno. Buon Giorno was in St. Paul for many, many years, and a few years ago, they moved to Lilydale. Buon Giorno makes their own sausage and you can't go wrong with their specialties. Try out their pizza dough.
We bought some samples of Buon Giorno's products. If you go, check out the olives -- they have Italian herbs with them and taste really good. We'll go back there again too.
Satisfied customers were we with everything!

Where is the rabies shot given for dogs??
I took Nia in for a rabies shot on Friday, it's Tuesday right now. Today when I was giving her a scratch, she suddenly yelped. As I felt her side more, there's a lump just above her right thigh on the body. It seems to hurt when I press it.
Could it be from the rabies shot the vet gave her? The vet tech took her inside for the rabies shot since it had to be administered by a certified vet and the vet was inside working.
Otherwise she's acting perfectly normally and no problems at all.

That looks incredible! Makes me want to push this helmet towards the top of the build list.
Can't wait to see how it ends up, you've done a great job so far.

Another costume Ruze?? You'll never be bored my friend!!
wow, I am always amazed at those who can use the pepkura stuff - let alone find the files for them... but this build looks amazing. Well done, have you had a chance to compare measurements the current Guard buckets out there? - or even side by side shots?
No comparisons yet. I am guessing that it is just a little bigger than the other ones out there though, since I did the mods to fit my big ol' noggin. It sets ever so slightly against my cheeks, but not enough to be uncomfortable. I would guess it is a little taller overall, and wider from front to back. Especially over the shoulders, I'm pretty thick. I put a little more finishing putty on today. Hopefully I'll get to primer before the end of the week. Keeping my fingers crossed anyway. The only thing that I can think of that may slow me down is getting my Fettoo coloerd, and thats a pretty big maybe.
Thats looking amazing man. Just a thought here tho Skip - that template you made, it looks amazingly like a neo-crusader mando. Anyone else thinking that such a template would be fairly simple to turn into a neo-crusader?
Lol good point. That always seems to be the problem for all of us :P
Too true.
Another update. Hooray!
After sanding everything smooth again, adding more glazing putty here and there, and sanding again (a couple of times), I finally shot a first coat of primer to get it all one color and show me where I need to work a little more. It isn't quite as bad as I had expected. Especially on the dome, I thought it was going to be horrifying. With a little more tweakage here and there I think I might finally get to start some actual painting. And now... More pics.
I got the primer a little heavy in a couple of spots but it'll be alright. I'm gonna be sanding it off anyway.

man all that paper would drive me nuts... great build so far
that's looking really great!
i may have to try this pepakura stuff some time. looks like fun!
Looking really nice T_Bone! I said it before but this is turning out so much better than I expected! Not because I thought you couldn't pull it off, just it looks better than I thought the design/templates would allow.
Well done buddy, I love it!
Just a quick teaser.
I got a little froggy yesterday morning before work and threw a quick, thin coat of paint on. I should have used a lighter gray primer. Being too cold to do any real paintwork it ran a little but you get the idea of how it's gonna look. I also found a couple spots that need a little minor work.
That! Is! Beautiful!!!
Outstanding work my friend!! And it's not even finished yet. You've done a remarkable job on this so far. I'd never have expected the templates to work so well. Your time in modding them to work better for you has truly paid off!
Well done! :thumbup
IMG! That is amazing work. Awesome job!
sorry to bring up a thread that's a couple weeks no replies...but this came along so far...i'm amazed at the care that you took getting that thing cut out and smooth.
and then hardening it up with bondo/glassing.
well done.
and it looks to be quite a custom fit
I found a few spots that needed a little work after i got the initial glossy coat on. So I've sanded, rebondoed, and sanded smooth again. I'm just waiting to get a warm place to do some real painting. I'm not allowed to paint in the house anymore. My dad is taking a break from remodeling a home a couple block away, but when he gets back to work on it and has a fire going, I'm gonna run over there and throw some on. I can hardly wait.
Looking forward to it buddy.
Realy a great job, all that folding line, WOW!!, WHAT A JOB!!!
Can't wait to see it in it's final paint..
excellent work !
Hey all. We had an unusually warm day here a few days ago and since I had done a little sanding I decided to throw another coat of primer on. I used light grey this time so the red should cover better this time. Still waiting on a warmer place to do the actual paint though. Here are some new pics.
I think it's nice to see it just one color again. Until I have something else noteworthy take care and most of all have fun.
***!!!!!! It looks so smooth now! Beautifully done T!! Be proud my friend, be proud.

Over 2,000 students at a Behala school were made to rush out of classes and line up in the playground for a headcount on Friday afternoon after an unidentified man rang up a nearby shop to claim that six students had been kidnapped.
Guardians of students and officers from multiple police stations rushed to Barisha High School as rumours of kidnapping spread. The count confirmed that the call was hoax.
"I heard from an acquaintance that six students had been kidnapped from the school and rushed there. The headmistress assured us that the students would be counted soon," said a homemaker whose son studies at Barisha High School.
A group of guardians headed straight to the local Behala police station. "Officers were immediately sent to the school. We also alerted the closest radio flying squad and the heavy radio flying squad to be on the lookout for vehicles carrying students," said a senior officer at Behala police station. Personnel from the adjoining Parnasree police station were also sent to the school.
"The number of students were counted in the playground before the school authorities declared no one was missing," said a senior cop.
Headmistress Dipa Bose said the students' were counted in their respective classrooms. "Around 12.45pm, some guardians came and alerted me. I immediately asked the class teachers to conduct a roll call and tally it with the morning roll call," Bose told Metro.
Three persons were lynched and six attacked by mobs in the city over the past month after branding them kidnappers on the basis of rumours.

NEW YORK, Monday—Last Wednesday evening I went to see "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Everyone in New York will probably want to see the Old Vic company of London in this musical presentation of Shakespeare's play. My feeling was that it was a very enjoyable evening but that the Metropolitan Opera House was too big for the presentation. I was fairly close, in the six or seventh row, and I could hardly hear some of the familiar and charming light lines that cannot be said except in moderate tones. Now you may say that I am partly deaf but there were people listening, with both their ears in good order, who also found difficulty. This is a play, I think, that needs a smaller setting.
I did not find as much variety and fire in the ballet as one would hope for in such a good company but perhaps I am not a good judge of ballet. On the whole, I felt that the company at the City Center, which I had seen perform a short time ago, danced with more fire and that their ballet as a whole had more imagination. The evening was a pleasant one, however, and I am very glad I had the opportunity to see "A Midsummer Night's Dream" so charmingly staged and acted.

I have just spent nearly an hour of my precious daytime hours crawling around New York City streets in my little car. What can be done about the traffic? If you shut off a street, as is the case on Madison Avenue in the fifties at present, it simply means one wastes hours of time. I don't know the answer but I do know that unless something is done about it shortly, I would not blame anyone for saying they would never come to New York again.
* * *
I cannot remember if I mentioned to you before a book entitled "A Guide to Politics," published by Dial Press and edited by Quincy Howe and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. The contributors, except for myself, are all men who should know something about what they write, and when you see what goes on in our present campaigns you will feel that all of us need a little instruction.
We have to practically beg the voters, in this city at least, to go and register in order that they may vote, and you read daily that everyone is worried throughout the country at the apathy being shown by the average citizen in this campaign. What has happened? This is a time when everywhere there are questions of interest in the lives of people to be solved and the election of the representatives who handle these questions is of prime importance to every citizen in the country. One longs to cry from the housetops "Wake up, you good people, this is your government!"

The Philadelphia Union will select its first set of players on Wednesday in the 2009 MLS Expansion Draft and while there is no guarantee that the ten players chosen will make Peter Nowak's team, it is a safe bet that several members of the group will make up a good nucleus for Major League Soccer's 16th team.
There is plenty of big names for Nowak to choose from, but he's fully aware that many of the better available players are heading to Europe this winter. Nowak also knows how important it will be to start building the team with a solid defensive nucleus.
Defense will be one of the three keys for the Union's draft, along with veteran leadership and finding players with strong local ties. That combination of characteristics should help the Union come up with a good group for Philly fans to embrace.
So who will Nowak select on Wednesday? Here is our best guess:
AMADO GUEVARA, Toronto FC
Preki's arrival at Toronto FC, coupled with the team's surplus of central midfielders made Guevara expendable and Philadelphia would be crazy not to grab him. His creativity, toughness and personality makes him a fan favorite wherever he goes, even if his temper and reputation as a prima donna has left some former fans glad to see him go. Guevara has matured in recent years, and with a World Cup to play in next year, something tells me he will be stepping up his game in 2010.
Even if Guevara isn't in Nowak's plans, he would be wise to select him as trade bait, with several teams (Houston and Chivas USA among them) likely to need a creative midfielder for next season.
BOBBY CONVEY, San Jose
The prodigal returns and Philadelphia adds the homegrown talent it hopes will help serve as a poster boy for the community. Convey has had his struggles through the years, with injuries and most recently with form, but he's still talented and relatively young and you would like to think that playing back home in a new stadium for his hometown fans will help bring the best out of the former U.S. national team midfielder.
FRANKIE HEJDUK, Columbus
Who better to join a team called the Union than the fearless and hard-working Hejduk, who seems tailor-made to be a Philly fan favorite. He struggled late in the year for Columbus, and his recent showing for the U.S. national team left a lot to be desired, but Hejduk is still an above average right back in MLS and his presence in the locker room is invaluable.
JESSE MARSCH, Chivas USA
It has been more than a decade since Marsch and Nowak were teammates on the 1998 MLS Cup-winning Chicago Fire, but Marsch has remained one of the most respected midfielders in MLS.
The problem with Marsch is that he is dealing with concussion issues that could force him to retire. If he is still uncertain about playing in 2010, then look for Philadelphia to grab someone else from CHivas USA, be it defenders Carey Talley or Jim Curtin (A Philly native), or Jon Conway (A Chester native).
EDDIE ROBINSON, Houston
Nowak will be looking for tough, talented and experienced defenders and Robinson fits that bill. Before this past season, which he missed almost all of due to knee surgery, Robinson had been a rock in the back for the Dynamo, serving as a starter on two MLS Cup-winning teams. The emergence of Geoff Cameron made him expendable by the Dynamo, but he could step right in and anchor the Union's back-line.
STEPHEN KING, Seattle
A product of last year's expansion draft, King got lost in the mix in a loaded Seattle Sounders midfielder, but he's still a talented young central midfielder who happens to be a product of the powerhouse Philadelphia-area youth club FC Delco. Now 23, King played in 20 games as a rookie with the Chicago Fire in 2008 and impressed there. Nowak can never have too many good central midfielders. This one just happens to have local ties, making him a safe bet to be selected.
CHRIS ALBRIGHT, New England
Another one of the more high-profile players to come out of the Philadelphia area, Albright is also coming off a year lost to knee surgery. There are concerns about his health with him having missed most of two of the past three seasons. His versatility as a defender makes him a valuable asset though so if the Union is confident of his health, it would be tough to see Philly passing on Albright.
ANTHONY WALLACE, FC Dallas
Nowak isn't going to just select a bunch of veteran players. He will need to take a few younger prospects and few are as intriguing as Wallace, a standout left back prospect who was starting to flourish for FC Dallas before being sidelined by injury.
AARON HOHLBEIN, Kansas City
With Eddie Robinson already in the fold, Nowak grabs another starting centerback in Hohlbein, who really came into his own in 2009, his third year in MLS. Hohlbein is just 23 but has already started 40 MLS matches and even has a pair of goals to his credit. If Nowak wants to go even younger, he could go with KC's Matt Besler, a rookie standout for the Wizards last season.
NICK ZIMMERMAN, New York
This one might be a bit of a long shot, but if Nowak caught a glimpse of Zimmerman during the middle of the 2009 season, when he was still playing regularly for the Red Bulls, Nowak will have seen a tough, tireless and skilled midfielder capable of playing on the right wing or centrally. If Nowak isn't ready to add that much youth to his team, he could go with striker John Wolyniec or defender Mike Petke, who started on Nowak's MLS Cup-winning D.C. United team in 2003.
Some other players who could wind up being selected on Wednesday include: Alejandro Moreno, Andy Iro, Quincy Amarikwa, Shea Salinas, Matt Besler, Herculez Gomez, John Wolyniec, Mike Petke, Nathan Sturgis, Pat Phelan, Devon McTavish, Ryan Cochrane, Robbie Russell and Sanna Nyassi to name a few.
Wondering where big names like Ricardo Clark, Chris Rolfe and Gonzalo Segares are? Since they are all safe bets to sign in Europe I don't see Philly wasting expansion draft picks on their rights.
What do you think of this list? Who are you hoping Philadelphia selects? WHo are you hoping the Union stays away from?
Share your thoughts below.
I would take:
Stephen King
I can't decide on the last two.
Are players that played bad last year, more valuable and likely to be selected than players who were injured and played little? Examples Convey/Marsch.
Maybe Philly should pick some other player from Toronto since it's unlikely that Guevara will stick with Toronto. By picking him they'd be doing them a favor.
Stephen King is a bargain, a solid player who has a much lower salary than James Riley. Being a local boy is just a bonus. The Union is going to need more than 10 players & the salary cap is still pretty low in the MLS.
Well the issue with Parke would philly risk trading for him and he ended up not signing with the team. Like when Seattle drafted him.
What do you expect expansion teams are suppose to be crappy their first year. There only two expansion teams in the history of MLS that had a huge first year. Chicago and Seattle
Riley is out for the Seattle-Philly opener due to red card.
Post pictures.
Ossington Mental Youth
He'd still serve as an enticing trade to several other teams in the league, so if they dont pick him then we will likely trade him off to someone else that wants him
If they choose to draft Guevara I hope they have met with him and his representation before hand. The guy is a real talent, but his rep as petulant and difficult isn't for nothing. What if he doesn't like Philly or is not interested in an expansion project (he is getting a little long in the tooth)? On paper Guevara would be a great player to start the franchise with I would just be a little worried about his attitude.
DC Josh
Very interesting mock draft. A lot of who they pick today will depend on who is available in the MLS draft out of college. With more college players moving straight to Europe, it's going to be tougher for scouts to find young talent. I think the Union will do well with who they select. Nowak is a great coach and in three years or less he'll have this team in the playoffs, not that it's very hard right now but will get harder in the future.
Too many higher priced vets on your list Ives. I bet Philly will pick more lower salaried players and use cap space on discovery/allocation type players. I could see one or two of Guevera, Convey, Hedjuk, Albright, Robinson, or Marsh, but not five of them. I think they should pick the LA Keeper Saunders. He looked great in the Cup Final, and can't be on much of a salary.
Josh D
Saunders did enough to be picked in my opinion. Still relatively young for a keeper, proven over the years with spots of play. Really showed his worth in the MLS finals. Unless they can bring Marcus from Wolverhampton or someone of equal stature, he'll be chosen.
Whoever said they pick up Wicks, needs to re-evaluate their opinion. As a DC fan, I'd stay away from that trouble. I wouldn't mind seeing him out the door.
JULIAN VALENTIN should be an essential pick, local talent playing for LA now but up fo expansion draft.
When i first saw Wallace i thought it was rodney wallace.
as a columbus fan I'm praying they don't pick padula!! i could stand to lose frankie or iro..padula would be huge to lose
man I thought I was the only one who noticed how good he was. when he was in Toronto playing against US I kept noticing how good he was.
I know the guy personally. He used to coach my team.

ModToneTM Speedbox Guitar Distortion Pedal.
The ModToneTM MT-DS Speedbox is a split bypass boutique style distortion pedal that emulates the tones of a vintage amp or classic overdrive and is housed in a compact all metal box that can take all you dish out! What may appear as just another fuzzbox is quite different once you hear what the MT-DS can do.
It is simply put, a pre-amp in itself! A deliberately simple 3 knob configuration is the gateway to overdrive bliss starting with a custom tailored "Tone" knob that provides just the right amount of sparkle and warmth while still retaining all the crunch and tonal clarity you love without a hint of noise!
Next is the "Drive" knob and its truly where the heart of this pedal lies with its custom voiced overdrive circuit and proprietary gain stage setting that allows you the option of getting a delicious overdrive tone from your clean amp or, on your amp's overdrive setting, a thick and creamy lead boost that sustains for days!
Last up is the "Level" control that allows you to select the perfect amount of gain whether you're style is a touch of the blues or a full out metal blitzkrieg! The MT-DS Speedbox, like the whole family of ModTone pedals, features period correct vintage style components, smooth linear taper pots, high impact switches built for the floor and top quality jacks for optimum tonal transfer.

Replace or sister saging garage joists
My garage joists are saging, and have cracks in them that span from 1/2 to 3/4 through the 2 x 6's. The length of the joists is 22ft. The joists run parallel to a vehicle when it is parked inside. The width of the garage is 25ft. Please help me find the best way to fix this problem. Some folks have suggested engineered wood in a I beam configuration but at the end at the base of the roof, I would have to cut the I beam on an angle to follow the roof and that seems like it is defeating the purpose of having the I beam. Some have suggested sistering the whole beam with another 2 x 6 and either screwing or bolting the joists together. Please help.

A picture would be nice.
Install an LVL (laminated veneer lumber) under the existing ceiling joists at the 25' span, with 4-1/2" of bearing at each end. 1-3/4"x 9-1/2" will carry 5900++#'s. You have 22' minus 1/2 = 11' x 25' x 10#live load and 10#dead load = 5500#. (and no center post) http://www.parr.com/PDFs/LP%20LVL%201.9E.pdf Check with your local code enforcement official, they may require stronger than 20# per ft.
Be safe, Gary
GBR's solution is probably the easiest way to go and extremely effective. The only drawback is that possible impact of headroom loss from the beam (for example - possible interference with garage door opener). If the ceiling is high enough then that's not an issue. If it is an issue the beam could be placed within the ceiling with the existing joists cut off at the beam and hung with joist hangers - but that is a lot more difficult. The beam could also be placed above the joists and the joists "hung" from the beam with straps but again a lot more difficult. In most cases the beam below the joists as GBR suggests is your best bet.
22' 2x6's in a garage?????
I'll get some pics tomorrow.
199 Attachment(s)
My thought exactly, thats part of the reason why Id like to see a pic.
Yes, 2 x 6's over a span of 22ft, I've been told the wood is #3 wood with large knots and that is mostly where they cracked. My first thought was to sister more 2 x 6's of #1 or #2 wood and either bolt or screw them together. Is there any type of 2 x 6" engineered wood that would work better? The large veneer beam mentioned above is probably very heavy and I'm doing this job solo.
I believe the beam mentioned above according to the tables attached above weighs 4.8 lbs per foot -- even I, a middle aged weakling :whistling2: would consider this doable.
They weighed under 200 lbs each
The 9" LVL would weigh a lot less - almost 1/2
And is a great solution
Location profile updated. Thanks
With the beam support at 1/2, or 11' - this would clear any opener and back-hang track of a 9' high door. The #3 wood ceiling joists should not have been used there, only very short spans or firewood. The engineered wood is great but you cannot cut the angle past the inside of the wall. (Roof slope). IRC requires 2x6 at 24"o.c. - 10'6" span. 2x8 = 13'3" 2x10 = 16'3" Doubling may work if the local Inspector OK's it for liability, so no one comes to your next house with a lawsuit from your previous work.....
I presume they are 24"o.c.? If drywalling, need 5/8" at 24"o.c. joists.
What is the headroom, under joists to slab?
Be safe, Gary
The joists are 9ft from the slab. I don't know what o.c. stands for since I'm am a true newby in wood construction measurements. So what you're saying is that I can't use lvl since I won't be able to cut it for the roof slope? One friend of mine suggested lowering the wall and putting "I" beam lvls to support it but I'm not keen on that since some folks tell me that to lower the wall I would just be putting 2 x 4's nailed to the wall and resting the "I" beam on them instead of the support wall. So, can I just put #1 wood up against the existing #3 and bolt or screw them together the full length of the joist?
