Five goals allowed in one game.
Not three. Not four.
The New York Red Bulls defense hadn't given up more than one goal in a game at home since the May 25th loss to Chicago (5-1). The Red Bulls had played seven home games since that debacle. You know how many combined goals they had given up in those seven home games?
Yes, Saturday night's loss and defensive meltdown was the kind of event few could have imagined, which is why Red Bulls head coach Juan Carlos Osorio (and the die-hard fans who braved the elements to watch the disaster) walked away from Giants Stadium on Saturday night disgusted and at a loss for what went wrong.
So what happened? Here are a few things to consider:
Gabriel Cichero played what might have been the worst half of soccer any defender in Red Bulls history has ever had. Osorio employed a 3-5-2 formation with a central midfield of seth Stammler, Juan Pietravallo and Carlos Mendes hoping to stifle Colorado's midfield and limit the chances the Rapids' forwards would see. The game-plan relied heavily on the back-three to hold up against the Rapids' forwards, with Cichero having the biggest responsibility because he was the centerback in the formation.
Rather than be a rock, Cichero was a wreck. It had nothing to do with playing a three-man defense rather than a four because Cichero has played well in a three before.
Cichero wasn't alone in breaking down on the five Colorado goals. Here is a look back at all five goals:
First goal– a lofted ball in catches Cichero in no-man's land and finds Casey. Conway comes off his line extremely late to close down Casey and doesn't get the ball, allowing the deflected ball to find Omar Cummings, who finishes into an open net easily.
Second goal– A long Burpo goal-kick is won by Casey (who beats Cichero to it) and falls to Cummings, who delivers a perfect pass to Casey on the run. Casey's run leaves Cichero beaten and he shakes off a late challenge from Mendes before beating Conway.
Third goal– Ballouchy swings in a corner kick and Cichero, with no pressure on him, chooses to flick head it behind himself rather than clearing it away. The ball falls to Mike Petke, who beats Conway from close range.
Fourth goal– Cummings outruns Jimenez on the right flank before whipping a cross in to a wide-open Casey (neither Cichero or Jeff Parke were near Casey), who heads it back to an on-running Nick LaBrocca. Juan Pietravallo races in from behind and clips LaBrocca in the area for a penalty. Casey converts the PK.
Fifth goal– Ballouchy races down the left flank, facing little pressure from Mike Magee, and delivers a perfect left-footed cross in to Casey, who beat Parke (who fell asleep long enough for Casey to get into position) and finished from 10 yards out for the hat-trick and victory.
So how much blame should Osorio shoulder for the loss? While he did tinker with the lineup, the changes he made were not directly related to the defensive collapse. He pushed Stammler forward, kept Rojas on the left and inserted Mendes in a defensive midfield role. Considering the offense produced four goals it is tough to argue with the Rojas and Stammler moves, while Mendes was not directly involved in any of the goals (he came in late on Colorado's second goal but that was blown assignment was all Cichero).
You can certainly make the argument that Osorio is to be blamed for using a 3-5-2 rather than a 4-4-2, but that is a bit of 20/20 hindsight at work because I don't think anybody would have predicted the type of meltdown Cichero had on Saturday. I'm pretty sure Osorio wouldn't have used a three-man defense if he didn't think Cichero could handle the job, and there had been no evidence before Saturday's game to suggest that Cichero couldn't.
What will Osorio do next? Cichero was signed to be the team's go-to centerback and if he's off form then Osorio will have no choice but to turn to Jeff Parke and Diego Jimenez in central defense, with Kevin Goldthwaite returning from suspension to play left back (Andrew Boyens is out for the Toronto match due to a yellow card suspension).
The club will catch a bit of a break by facing lowly Toronto FC next week, but that game is also essentially a must-win game because the three remaining games after that will be extremely tough.
Not everything was negative on Saturday. The offense looked good, and newcomers Mac Kandji and Matthew Mbuta looked really good. I will write a seperate post on the offense and the new guys later.
For now, feel free to share your thoughts on the defensive meltdown, and what's next for the Red Bulls, in the comments section below.
Wow Red Bulls are just unpredictable, aren't they? When are they going to get on a decent streak? Seriously guys WAKE UP!
There has been plenty of wrongs going on the RB and I believe it finally exploded on Saturday's game. As much as I like the new additions, it seems teams have figured out how to confront the RB. For one, in the games against Columbus and Colorado, the midfield line has had a lot of problem with fast midfielders. And in both games, Cichero has been beaten by a pivot forward and get caught out of position.
Pietra has not been as effective in the middle and he does not have the speed to track back and clean up after the defenders' breakdowns. It seems opposite teams are countering his tenacity by touching the ball quickly therefore he is getting caught in no man's land.

I'm actually not surprised by the meltdown. The defense looked suspect against RSL and easily could have given up two more goals if RSL could have finished. Why did you have to meltdown against Colorado??
I think Casey should get some credit as well. Looking at those highlights, the two goals from open play were substantially above average for an MLS forward. Especially as to the first goal, I am not sure the likes of Ching for instance would have been able to finish so unerringly under the circumstances.
It is fair to say that Dave VDB's absence has put an enormous hole in the left because no other mid tracks back as he does. Rojas is not a defender, and he should not be on the left in a 3-5-2 alignment.
I commented in another post that Richards has become one dimensional, trying to outrun his defender(s) every time. And his tracking back has also suffered. I can see Mac bringing some help to Angel up front on the right, but I don't know how you play with two speedsters on the same side (Mac and Richards).
Also, I hope Osorio allows Mbuta to play on the left even though he is right footed.
Seth Rogen
Jeff Parke and Carlso Mendez, and Seth Stammler have been the problem for two years, I think you can give Pietra, Cicehro, and Jimenez a couple more chances.
While I'm unhappy about the meltdown and unhappy it happened in one of two home games that NY was most likely to take advantage of (the other one being vs. TFC while the Columbus game will be tougher and the other 2 regular season games are against RSL and Chicago on the road), if DC doesn't beat FCD today, NY won't really be punished in the standings.
So this debacle may prove to be a positive wake-up call for the entire team and the defenders to be on their A games, home and away, for the rest of the season. Many other good teams in MLS have had these poor performances that serve to shake the team and coach up and refocus efforts. NE, for example, had a 4-0 loss in mid-August and two straight 4-0 losses earlier this month before regaining their form. Chicago just 7 days ago had a 4-1 drubbing at home and came back to win their next game 3-1. All in all, we lost this game by one goal and most of the defensive problems occurred in just one 45 minute period. So Cichero and the defense had an awful night, but I don't think there is a need to panic and change everything about the formation and the starting 11.
Instead, I think they'll refocus and we'll see a better result next weekend. That said, Rojas doesn't defend well and it's been plainly visible for the last two games. The guy just needs to play centrally. Richards also needs to step up his defensive efforts, but his goal and offensive work looked good. Conway needs to be put through some serious drilling to fix his judgement in certain scenarios and make sure the guy doesn't feel like his starting spot is assured.
I know NY fans have been through years of disappointments, Lord knows I feel it acutely myself, but I don't think that's a reason to panic over one poor result. The team still looks good overall, much better than it has in prior years and earlier this season.
I also think people shouldn't immediately discount Colorado. They have been on a tear recently — having not lost in now 4 straight including a 2-0 victory over Chicago and a 1-1 tie with NE. People talk about San Jose's revival but SJ is still bottom of the Western conf table while Colorado has shot up to being tied for 3rd after having hit bottom (and lost form) earlier this season.
Perhaps we all, team included, underestimated the changes that have been taking place in Colorado and their recent run of good form.
Osorio has been misnomered as "the professor." He should be called, instead, the "desperate plaintiff's attorney."
That is, his method being: throw the whole bowl of pata against the wall, and see what sticks.
Red Bull is getting what they deserve.
Wow, I really can't understand all the Red Bulls and Osorio hate over one game. Are there a lot of people here that are just looking for opportunities to spit venom at this club, this coach and this organization? Because it seems hardly warranted on the basis of one game that ended 5-4.
Clearly the team needs to do some work but they are still in a play-off spot, still in control of their destiny and still a quality side for this league. I don't think everything is broken and poor just because of one result. Would people say the same about DC, or LA, or Toronto who are all outside of the play-offs looking in?
Given the composition and characteristics of the squad, I would happily have Osorio back for next year.

JCO is a walking encylopedia of futbol, hes still *il profesore* … did you mean pasta? … Being Italian I can tell you thats a myth! Try mud next time.
Problem is when you don't have a MIDFIELD, what are you left with? RB is basically playing a 2-0-9 ! The only midfielder we have that is remotely capable of any offensive creativity is Sinisa, and he is buried on the bench ! And don't even start your for DVB and Dane, they are so disgustingly one dimensional it's ridiculous.
OR give Colorado some credit. Casey played a hell of a game and Cummings used speed and constant pressure to make chances. Sure, the Red Bulls are awful but the Rapids played well and capitalized.
ag nigrin
Good stuff Eugene.. I agree no need to push the panic button yet. The Bulls still are in the driver's seat and hopefully Macoumba and Mbuta will gel quickly. It was definitely an off week for the D…we have seen it before and it usually happens when VDB is not playing. Get well soon VDB!
Vs TFC we will see:
michael F.
Agree with Britton. We have no midfield. Look at the goals we score, kick and run to MaGee, long balls to Angel headers.
Uh, Britton, 2-0-9? And VDB is one dimensional? Which dimension are you referring to? The passing, the crossing, or the shot from range?
Offense obviously was not the problem last night, and defense shouldn't have been either, not with a very defensive midfield. But hey, if we're going to start Mendes, why not assign him to CB instead of midfield? His task is the same either way but in defense he's in better position to do it.
Tim F.
While Cichero did have a bad game, he has played well so far, I wouldn't be too hard on him; he'll be missing the game against RSL and I'll bet New York will wish that he was with the team.
The fact is that most of the team had poor defensive performances Saturday night.
Conway poorly timed challenge was the primary reason for the first goal. Also, no one picked up Cummings who scored the first goal and that wasn't Cichero's man anyway. Cummings and Casey combined very well on the second goal as well.
The marking on the corner kick goal by everyone was severely lacking. Jimenez and Petravallo were equally to blame on the fourth goal. On the fifth goal, Cichero wasn't even in the lineup. In addition to Magee and Parke, Stammler and Boyens did not apply pressure.
Casey will get player of the week honors. Cummings and Ballouchy punished the Red Bulls as well and more effort should have been spent marking all three players.
Against Toronto FC
Richards (if healthy)……………Mbuta
Against RSL
Mbuta……….van Den Bergh (if healthy)
The Red Bulls need three points against Toronto FC because they then go on the road to the RSL stadium opening w/o Cichero, Rojas and Richards, face league best Columbus Crew and then away to Chicago who has gotten the better of them this year.
Barry Jive and His Uptown Five
You're just asking for trouble playing a 3-5-2 in MLS. Only a few teams have the right type of defenders and midfielders to pull it off. My general impression is that it's like trying to pound a square peg into a round hole.
Conway has played well all season, but the last tow games he's been off his game. Hopefully he pulls it together as we need him if the defense isn't to pick up the slack.
RB is also fortunate that the ineptitude of DC is even worse on defense, so that should help during the playoff run.
RBNJ, you probably shouldnt have picked up that DVD "how to play soccer, the Galaxy way"…
it was a poor game, and couldnt have worked out better for the fire :D… no worries guys, with DC getting torn apart between CL and MLS, your only concern is beating out 4th and 5th place on the west O.o
however, depending on your final standing, it looks like you may have to face CLB or HOU your first round of the Playoffs…
1. I think JCO's decision to play a 3-man backline was more a function of trying to get people forward to exploit the lack of speed on the Colorado backline and also compensate for numbers in midfield. You know that Colorado has a great wide game and part of the reason they've benched Christian Gomez is in order to get more work/ball-winning in midfield. I think JCO didn't play a 3-man backline because he was convinced that Cichero was a great center back but more because he felt he had to dominate midfield and get numbers forward (thus the 3-man backline).
2. I think part of the reason for the hating on JCO and the team at this point is: because the personnel wasn't added until August, the product on the field was deplorable the first 2/3rds of the season. So while the team is far more talented now and has had a good run of play….
3. RB has to be sweating the playoff situation. Okay, it looks like DC is done–stick a fork in them, that team has emploded in a big way. But Colorado, RSL are 1 point behind RB, FCD is 2 points behind and KC is 3 points behind. RB will lose players to Venezvuelan NT callups. Our last 4 matches are: TFC, at RSL, Crew, at Chicago. It would not be unexpected to see RB go 1-3 given our road record. Now, Chicago is weak at home, the Crew may be coasting at that point. But it's just as arguable that the Crew (given their last playoff fiasco) will be trying to drive hard into the playoffs rather than coast, that Chicago will be fighting to make sure they aren't the 4th seed and RSL is tough at home plus you've got altitude. Meanwhile…Colorado plays Houston, LAG, Chivas and RSL. Figure the LAG game is a win, Houston is a loss, the other 2 are tossups. If they go 3-1 or 2-2 while we go 1-3 or 1-2-1 than they're ahead of us on points. And RSL plays NE, us, FCD and Colorado. The only match I see as a definite loss for them is at NE, the others are either at home or at Colorado (where the altitude is something they're used to). KC is really the only team I think is behind the 8-ball schedule-wise: Chicago, 2 matches against NE and SJ.
I mention the two west teams because if both of those sides (1 point behind RB) pass us, then we're not in the playoffs. So…RB has to get its collective act together while missing the NT callups and go at least 2-2 if not 3-1 to have a strong shot at the playoffs.
Faux Fur and Soccer Shirts
New headline: Rapids Expose Rojas.
He's outstanding in the middle, and the only reason we scored most of our goals lately, but DAMN, he is the "no defendingest" player I've seen in a while. Stammler and Rojas' positions MUST be swapped until DvdB gets back.
Can Mbutu play on the left?
Dvb passing? Let's not get crazy here. Hes not exactly feeding passes to Angel this year, or last for that matter. His shot? I'd like to see more of it ,if he had the stamina to do so. And at 275$ a year? Waaay over priced for flat foot if you ask me.
Rich Bull NJNY
My only question is what was Oso thinking when he put in Mbuta and removed a defensive position player (Mendes)????
What was he thinking? Everyone saw that the 3 man backline got their collective assses kicked! As soon as he put in a 4th man in the back, the bleeding stopped. What did the class learn??
Then he goes back to the 3 man line, and we lose in the final minute. Putting Mbuta in was great, but replace another offfensive player! Take out Magee, or Stammler, or even Rojas, but starting the game with a 3 man back line, only to return to it, was a terrible terrible move.
Meanwhile, them ULS boys sure made a pretty goal. I hope Oso puts them in early and often for the rest of the season.
Rich Bull NJNY
Agreement with some of the early posts saying that Rojas is better in the middle. Yet JCO keeps pushing him left. I wonder why? I still like him as the head coach of this team, and still believe the Bulls going deep in the playoffs. Call me die hard, but this team can generate some beautiful offense sometimes, only to turn around and fall asleep in the middle of the game, so frustrating! But I still believe.
Btw, smeone said it earlier…give Casey and Cummings alot of credit. They were relentless for the Rapids.
Rich, the Red Bulls didn't play a three-man defense at the end of the game. They played a four-man defense the entire second half. This was the lineup after Mendes left:
Stammler moved to right back to end the game and held his own there. The breakdowns on the game-losing goal were Mike Magee not pressuring the Ballouchy cross (A hell of a cross by the way) and Jeff Parke letting Casey get position on him (hell of a finish by Casey too).
And in the end Osorio went offense for defense because he needed an equalizer. Replacing an attacker for an attacker doesn't necessarily give you the boost you might need.

Talon: Jeez...
As Malachite watched Ami and Jake kiss, Malachite high fived me. We sat down, and watched as Ami told Jake that she wanted to kiss him. The look on her face was priceless. Malachite and I sat egging her on. She told him about her powers, then they kissed once more.
They pulle away, leaning their foreheads together. Malachite glanced sideways, and gave an evil smile. He went over to the old tape player, and pressed play. A soft music began. i hed my sides in a fit of silent laugher. I rolled back, tears streming from my eyes. "I'm gonna get those two..." muttered Jake. Ami nodded, before laying her head on his shoulder.
I looked at Malachite. "I'm gonna make Ami go to school tomorrow. That way We can all have a clean up seperating the rooms properly and stuff." I muttered.
Everyone came inside a little while later, and went into the sleeping area. I got changed quickly into some jogging bottoms and vest top, and laid down, yawning. Jake moved a matress closer to mine, and laid down on it.
"Thanks gain for letting me stay."
"Thanks for staying!" I giggled. He smiled. I pulled a blanket over him, and another over myself. He shivered. "Oh...too cold..." he groaned. I laughed, and crawled under the sheets with him, and gave him a hug. He smiled, and huddled under the cover. I returned to my own bed, and blew him a kiss.
He was right. The covers were cold. Talon laid on a pillow beside me. "I should be a love doctor." he muttered. I laughed softly. One by one, all of the Guarded ones filed into the bedroom, while the Guardian sat in the main space, chatting. Jake curled his finger, indicating me to come over. I gave a yawn, and rolled over.
"You ok?"
"Yeah, just thinking about today."
He chuckled, and wrapped an arm round me. I sid an arm over him, and wriggled my way uder the blanket, hugging him. "Jake?"
"Boo. Sorry. Feeling a bit hyper. Ow!" I said, as a bag of gummy rings hit me in the head. Talon and Malachite stood at the door, grinning at us, before leaving. I tore open the bag, and popped one in my mouth. Jake opened his mouth, and I dropped one in. We laughed a little, then I fell to sleep, still cuddling up to Jake.

Take take take
The shady art of bloodletting…
Doctor dear, are you forgetting
A century ago (no more)
That this my symptom was your cure
For lunacy in all its guises?
Though i suppose i'd win no prizes
For guessing it was just a way
Of making mad and bad folks pay,
A tribute, tax on broken minds
For those by families left behind.
Secret, sacred, all that's left
When one finds oneself bereft,
Thoughts lost of felicity,
Take blood too, i'm going free,
Spare parts for anyone who'd have me.
Nowadays you're much more savvy,
Tithing surreptitiously,
Words, instead of bodily
Fluids, ruby-like, my treasure
These tomb raids harder to measure
So while you're feeling quick and spry
Slip right in and drain me dry

RE: [WestKingdomEQ] Making horses more central to the Current Medieval Experience
Sir Robert,
As Duchess Carol of Bellatrix and I recently found out, current Corpora has dropped much of what you refer to ( and we remember) as requirement for Knighthood. Knights aren't required to be aquainted with period dance, playing chess or the other of the 5 formerly listed items that appear in the SCA Historical Corpora , as they used to be back in 1971. Niether are they required to be masters of any of them besides fighting, as we were, then. ( See Volume One, Entry Six at: http://jducoeur.org/justin/hist-corp-v1.html for a copy of the old requirements.)
I agree it would be nice if the West reinstated them as added requirement for Knights, as well as for the other two peerages. I also think riding a horse should be added to that list!
I wonder when and why they were dropped by the BOD in the first place?

Subject: [WestKingdomEQ] Making horses more central to the Current Medieval Experience
Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2007 23:46:59 -0700After reading the past 2 days' digests, I'm moved to make a few comments.1. I'm very glad that more folks got to know Lady Zinaida & Sir Corwyn and Phooka & Captain Jack as well. Good people, good horses. They have worked very hard to get SCA Eq going in the Santa Cruz area, but were probably not so well known Kingdom-wide........................................................3. It's great to see our Royalty promoting understanding of horses and their central role in chivalric society, particularly in the training of those who would aspire to knighthood. Many years ago (early- to mid- first decade) when Diana wrote the requirements for peerages into the Corpora, namely the minimal familiarity with chess, heraldry, period dance, literature, etc., I tried to persuade her to add "horsemanship and the hunt", but she was already getting some resistance about it and said she didn't want to add more at the time. I just now thought of that and now I wonder if perhaps a Kingdom has the right to make additional requirements on top of those in the Corpora for consideration for a peerage. To be equivalent in scope to the other areas, the minimal requirement would not involve actually riding a horse, or hunting game with bow or spear, or handling hawks or hounds (actually playing chess isn't required, just knowing one piece from another and how they move.) It would not involve great investments of time, money, or equipment, but would broaden the education of those who are the next generation of leaders in our Kingdom in an area now rather underrepresented in proportion to its significance in medieval life.- Robert of DunharrowBob Orser

2010 was certainly the Year of Adam Lambert. And 2011 promises to be more of the same, thank goodness! We're so happy with the silence of news about him, because hopefully that means he's getting back to day-to-day life where he can rest, refresh, and work on his next album. I wonder if we can even use the phrase "normal life" when thinking about Adam? After setting fire to stages around the world for almost 10 months, what can "normal" be? Does he have "To Do" lists like the rest of us? Can he go to Home Depot for some screws to fix a cabinet? Does he drop off his dry cleaning? Can you imagine being behind him in line while you're buying your broccoli? While he's at work on coming up with his next "wow 'em off the face of Planet Fierce" album, let's reflect on his inclusion on several lists, awards and accolades. He's topping many and making solid footprints on the rest of these star-studded roll calls for the top in music, video, concert tour and fashion, as well as entertainer-of-the-year. So much fun for us to do, right?? I give full credit and a heavy "thank you" to Juneau and Xena for compiling this list. You two ladies are wonderful!! Be sure to click on each of the links to read the full stories. You'll even find some new videos!
Love ya!
~ Carol ~
P.S. Thank you to everyone for your warm wishes and concern about my foot. It's getting better!

His fashion star was also on the rise. He kept it dapper, rocking suits with a glam touch added at red carpet events, and even went glam toe to glam toe with Boy George and lived to tweet about it.

It's because of his heartfelt message that was included in the It Gets Better Project to bullied teens -straight and GLBT. This guy is a true American Idol."
Yahoo Music – The Most Awesome Music Videos Of 2010 Coming in at #16 is Adam Lambert's If I Had You. "In the feelgood video of the summer, Glambert got back to his glammy self, eschewing the dour VH1 angst of his "Whataya Want From Me" and "Time For Miracles" videos.

Practice areas & skills: DUI & DWI, Trucking Accident, Car Accidents, Criminal Defense
If you are suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be arrested for DUI (driving under the influence). Depending on the state, the specific crime is also called DWI (driving while intoxicated), OUI (operating under the influence), or OWI (operating while intoxicated). A DUI conviction has serious consequences (for example, losing your driving privileges); but an experienced DUI attorney can often get the charges dropped or reduced, or may be able to negotiate lesser penalties depending on your circumstances and your past history.

She wasn't ready to stand around and wait for answers she woud never get to the questions she would always fathom. Not here, in the entrance of the tube station, in rush hour, staring at the man she thought she knew.
She turned around and walked through the station without turning back. By the time he looked up, he could just about make her out of a sea of people descending to the railway.
He stood and watched till she was completely out of sight. He exhaled, it felt like ice slicing the inside of his throat and his eyes prickled almost painfully for the tears he wouldn't let come. He just stood there. Frozen.
What have I done?

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I searched before posting this, but nothing quite covers what I'm after. Any help would be massively appreciated!
Basically, I've been an on-and-off runner for 6 years now (18-24 years old). For most of these 6 years, I've gone through a pattern where I'd go away to uni, get lazy, put on weight, come home and then run it all off over the summer. For pretty much this entire time, I used one pair of shoes, which I've only just learnt is a bad thing. Needless to say, they were pretty shot towards the end and eventually got thrown out.
I graduated this December, bought myself a new pair of shoes and threw myself into running 15-20 miles per week. I started at 14 stone 10 lbs (93 kg) and got down to 12 stone (76 kg) within a few months, which I was really happy with, but started to get pains in my right knee for a few days after each run.
Being cautious, I rested up, assuming that it was just "wear-and-tear" from running whilst being too heavy. However, after rests of 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks....it comes back immediately after the first run.
I'm starting to think that my new(ish) shoes are to blame. They've always felt a little unbalanced, like they are missing a bit of thickness under the ball of the foot. I obviously can't go back to my old ones, so I'm sort of stuck wondering what the problem would be. I'd only go and get my gait assessed as a last resort, because I genuinely don't think I have pronation issues and don't want to pay someone to tell me that.
If it helps, my old shoe was a cheapo Asics. Probably equivalent to a Patriot 4/5 now.
My new shoe is a NewBalance 690. Also cheap!
I don't know whether there are known issues with my new shoe, or if this is a common problem when switching shoes. Maybe my knees have gotten too used to the old shoe and I should get a carbon copy of the old Asics trainer? Or maybe I just should have taken it easier when I was at my heaviest and now have to rest for a few months before I'm back to normal?
It'd be such a relief to just buy a new pair of shoes and be running comfortably again.
Look up ITBand issues, especially if you struggle going down stairs. Might be something like that and need some strengthening exercises.
Can't do any farm to research it and at worse eliminate it as a cause.
Thank you booktrunk!
Just looked it up and it sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing.
I'll give the exercises a go and if I have no luck, I'll take Millsy's advice and go to a specialist.
Antony... most running shops don't charge for gait analyses.

Eversio, without addressing me, started walking towards the hollow in the wall. I followed, having to walk quickly to keep up with his longer strides.
As soon as I got to the doorway (if you could call it that) I stepped back in shock. Eversio kept walking, not bothering to look back.
It was like the feeling of being hesitant to step on the escalator, times a thousand. The doorway opened into an empty black void (no walls or anything) and some flat stones were floating in mid-air to create a makeshift staircase.
The light of Eversio's torch was disappearing rapidly around the corner, so I had to swallow down my anxiety and step onto the first step.
The stone sunk a little under my weight and wobbled when I did, but if I walked fast enough the effect was less noticeable.
"Hey, slow down!" I called, trying to follow the meager light while maintaining my footing.
"Death waits for no one." Eversio replied, "And if he doesn't, I don't see why I should. He's a total prick."
"What happens if I fall?" I asked with uncertainty, feeling adrenaline pumping into my system as my foot almost slipped.
Eversio laughed and the sound reverberated in the emptiness.
How helpful.
We'd been walking an eternity when I started to slow down, huffing and puffing with the effort. It was some serious cardio, let me tell you.
"How much farther?" I asked in a whiny voice, wiping imaginary sweat from my forehead.
"These stairs are endless." Eversio replied, yawning.
"What?" I asked incredulously, "Then...then why on earth are we climbing them?"
"You're entering the Underworld for the first time. You have to pass some...tests to be allowed in."
"What kind of a test is this, then?" I asked, "I would rather be doing algebra!"
Eversio muttered something unintelligible about 'a loser' before replying.
"You have to prove that you're unafraid of the trials that lie ahead of you."
I furrowed my brows together.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
I could see Eversio shrugging.
"I don't know, it was in the manual. Hasn't been revised in a while."
He stopped, turning around on the step and throwing his torch down to our right.
It seemed to fall infinitely, until it skittered onto what sounded like stone and I could see a arched doorway on the ground beside it.
"Yes!" Eversio exclaimed quietly, "First throw!"
I stared at him, before talking a moment later.
"Um, if you don't mind me asking, why is there a fancy hole in the ground way down there?"
He pulled a silver pocketwatch out of his breast pocket, clicking it open and sighing.
"You have to jump into it. And if you take longer than thirty seconds, I'm going to push you myself."
"Oh, come on." I muttered, "Is that really necessary?"
"25 seconds. And believe me, it is. I've had to wait years for people to get it together."
I stood, shifting from foot to foot, staring down at the impossibly distant doorway.
"What if I miss it?"
Eversio laughed.
"20 seconds."
Time seemed to stretch out and then speed up, and I bit my lip nervously. It was a long way down. And...contrary to what I liked to believe, I was not that good with heights.
"10 seconds."
I shut my eyes and prepared to jump.
Just before launching myself into the void I stopped, opening my eyes.
This was hard.
I sat down on the rock and, crossing my fingers, pushed myself off.

Veni - Vidi - Vini
just fluff
I erupt, in words, in screams,
in poetry from books you have never seen.
I know of artists who paint with gold,
who paint with blood,
who paint to know what its like to never feel old.
And in their work, their pain, their strokes,
they are serene.
I release myself in song,
and with my eyes I can search your entire essence.
I can make sovereigns renounce kingdoms...
Halls of gold...
I can create heaven from a ball of string.
The taste of my lips may taste obscene,
but with the whole of my spirit I am wholly chaste.

Chapter XXI: The Nightmare Man (11/13)Mature
He felt the pain in her voice, and although he had never been so affectionate, he had a desire to hold onto her, to keep her safe and make her pain go away. Realising his wishes, his cheeks flushed. 'I - I think,' he began to stammer, failing to hide his embarrassment from her, 'maybe all of this has a reason...'
'I don't know, but Wilhelmina - my guardian - she used to tell me that nothing's a coincidence. It's all fate, caused by some higher force who knows what they're doing. She never said whether it was a god or not, just that they didn't want bad things to happen, but sometimes they make us struggle to help us learn, or even to give us something better...in the future.' Thinking on it further, Will didn't find it hard to believe Wilhelmina had such faith, in Vincula, what could you do but blame your suffering on divine judgement, or convince yourself it was a portent of prosperity?
'I can hear your heartbeat,' she whispered abruptly, he looked down at her with surprise, she chuckled at herself, 'sorry, it's just...you're so calm, your heartbeat's so steady, like you're not afraid of anything.'
'Don't be fooled,' he said quietly, 'I am scared.'
'...feel mine.' Before Will could question her, she'd grabbed his hand and pressed it to her chest. His cheeks grew hotter, he adjusted his hand upwards so it was more on her collarbone.
'Oh yeah - err - cool,' he said gauchely,
'You can't feel anything there, here,' to Will's reluctance, she grabbed his hand and moved it downwards, Will tried not to think about the fact that he was touching Tayna's breast. 'You can tell I'm scared, I can barely breath thinking about the dangers around me.' Indeed, he felt her heartbeat, hammering on his palm like the vibrations of a drum.
'Maybe I'm just used to danger,' he said, happy to move his hand away and clench it at her back. He'd seen his family murdered and grown up amongst rapists, thieves and murderers, even killed before he was thirteen, it wasn't far-fetched that he'd grown accustomed to bloodshed and tragedy.
'But you shouldn't be,' Tayna argued, pulling away, 'none of us should be okay with all of the things that have happened to us. It's not fair, we're still children. No, actually, we should never be okay with what we've been through, children or adults.'
'But it has happened,' Will said, as much as he was tempted to mope about how bad his life was, it didn't help. 'The people who control the Evil Eye are watching us, I don't know how we'll fight against that, but we know one thing, they don't know where we are now.'
'How do you think we were cursed in the first place? Does being around them do it? They made us both suffer, maybe that's it.'
'No, I don't think so,' a sudden thought hit Will as he remembered what the woman had said to him, you ran from us... 'I think the curse is rare, Mrs Calibrase was shocked when she found out, she didn't believe me at first. If these people are murderous and notorious, wouldn't it be rare for people to escape them?'
'So, you're saying that because we got away from them, they cursed us?' asked Tayna, sounding more convinced with each passing moment.
'When that woman came into my dream, she sounded...annoyed that we'd escaped. I bet that not many people get away from them, the half-faced man didn't want to let you go, at least.'
'You're right,' she nodded, 'he wanted to take me away with him when he found out I was an Ilmatar. I think that if I hadn't stabbed him and slowed him down, he would have stopped at nothing to get me back...'

How my lack of walking is hurting my writing

Oh man, that sucks. Sometimes medical people can be so over-reactive. Did you tell the PT you aren't like power-walking? I mean, I'd listen to the PT because you just had surgery and don't want to interfere with the healing process, but still...
I don't think about stuff when I walk. I just let everything go and then when I get home, I sometimes have a clearer path to the writing. Like I stop getting in my own way. If that makes any sense. =o)

Hugs and healing thoughts, JB! I take work breaks. I can tell when I need to get out of my chair and do something like make the beds, or start the laundry or organize what's for supper. Something about moving jars my brain loose, I guess. Or I play loud music.

What a great post! I totally understand the walking thing. I find that walking not only gives me time to think, but it also works out my pent-up energy and allows me to sit and focus when I'm done. I'm sorry the PT put the kabosh on walking! I hope he sets you free soon! xo

I feel your pain! Not literally, but I do sympathize. I went through a similar thing from 2008-2011 where I couldn't walk around the block with severe pain in my back. And I live in an area of the country where snow and cold keep me from walking for 4-5 months a year. So I do yoga. It's helped my physical strength and stamina and freed my creative muse.
I sure hope you're up and walking again soon!

I'm sorry to hear about the knee. Sending healing thoughts your way! I know what you mean. I've taken to doing upper body exercises and that helps a little. It's not as good as your walking, I'm sure, but it keeps the antsiness away a bit.

B.E. -- Makes perfect sense to me
Karyn -- Thanks. Funny how even the smallest change can have a big impact.
Cynthia -- I think you're right about expending the energy. Much easy to focus on work when not physically restless.
Misty -- Thanks! I have to think too much about what I'm doing when I do yoga. Glad you found something that works for you.
Madelina -- thank you -- anything to keep the antsiness at bay! ;-)

The present disclosure generally relates to the field of writing utensils, and more particularly to a method for preventing signature repudiation by using a smart pen.
There are many times in a person's life when he or she has to sign an important document, such as a contract, a mortgage, or a credit card application. The common solution is to have the documents notarized—but the signor can always claim the notary, an employee of the organization that benefits from the contract, has been compromised. Documents which are notarized and include a digital signature would reduce signature repudiation.
The present disclosure is directed to a method for authenticating a signed document. This method receives the user's fingerprint and embeds special markings on the document being signed. The method then transmits the information regarding the signing of the document, such as images of the document, fingerprints, times and locations of the signing, to a third party receiver.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not necessarily restrictive of the present disclosure. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate subject matter of the disclosure. Together, the descriptions and the drawings serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.
The numerous advantages of the disclosure may be better understood by those skilled in the art by reference to the accompanying FIGURE in which:
Reference will now be made in detail to the subject matter disclosed, which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
The present disclosure is directed to a method for authenticating a signed document. This method receives the user's fingerprint, stores a representation of the fingerprint and embeds special markings on the document being signed. The method then transmits the information regarding the signing of the document, such as images of the document, representations of fingerprints, times and locations of the signing, to a third party receiver.
The pen may comprise a pen housing having a first end, the first end comprising a plurality of print heads. Then, a plurality of springs contained within the pen housing exerts an outward force onto the associated plurality of print heads. An electromagnet contained within the pen housing exerts an inward force onto the plurality of print heads. The pen also comprises a control chip that is contained within the pen housing. A fingerprint reader is also attached to the outside of the pen housing, oriented to capture an image surrounding the first end. The plurality of print heads embeds markings onto a document being signed, the fingerprint reader receives the user's fingerprint, the control chip transmits and receives information, and the camera captures images of the document being signed.
The smart pen is constructed by replacing a conventional ball on the pen point with print heads. The print heads embed unique markings when signing the document. These print heads may be spaced close enough to each other so that regardless of what part of the pen point is used, at least some of the print heads may touch the document.
Each of the print heads may include a spring pushing it out and an electromagnet holding it in.
The pen may include a control chip located in the center of the pen casing which receives commands using a protocol such as Bluetooth and embeds the markings based upon the commands.
The pen may also include a battery inside the chip which is charged using electrical induction with a loop of wire. The pen will need to be placed on a charger periodically to recharge the chip.
To use the smart pen, the user presses a finger on the fingerprint reader and holds the smart pen as the user would any other writing utensil. As long as the pen is held, the fingerprint is valid. As soon as the user puts the smart pen down, the fingerprint becomes invalid. The pen records the fingerprint of the user, and captures an image of the document being signed. The controller sends fingerprint as well as the image, along with the time and the GPS location, to a third party server and embeds a mark on the document. This information will be available in the future if the signer chooses to repudiate the signature.
In the present disclosure, the methods disclosed may be implemented as sets of instructions or software readable by a device. Further, it is understood that the specific order or hierarchy of steps in the methods disclosed are examples of exemplary approaches. Based upon design preferences, it is understood that the specific order or hierarchy of steps in the method can be rearranged while remaining within the disclosed subject matter. The accompanying method claims present elements of the various steps in a sample order, and are not necessarily meant to be limited to the specific order or hierarchy presented.
It is believed that the present disclosure and many of its attendant advantages will be understood by the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the components without departing from the disclosed subject matter or without sacrificing all of its material advantages. The form described is merely explanatory, and it is the intention of the following claims to encompass and include such changes.
