Can't beat me, join em...
I was tagged by: Crabby_Bastard
And I am going to tag: MajesticMaverick, Chief Rocka, and Jojodogface,
I am currently playing:

Looking forward to hopefully winning an X1 from a contest, but don't pre-order consoles in general so even if I don't win I won't be buying one for a while. Basically some art contest to design a Dead Rising 3 weapon, posted the design here, but not many actually clicked that.
IF I did win that X1, these are the games I want from the launch.
Dead Rising(Comes with winning so why not)
Killer Instinct
That's really it for gaming though why not dive into comics
Looking forward to:

You'd expect that a time travelling organisation would have agents from all spans of time. And it was true, time safe did have agents from past and future periods. However these cases were among the minority of time agents. And even among those cases I was rare.
I had of course heard the story of the events that led to my recruitment, though I had not been there, yet. Apparently in the year 5024 a future version of me, one who was a level 6, with purple hair, had introduced herself to the heads of time safe. She had told them she knew it was to be that day because that was the day they had told her she had introduced herself to them, and that they must hire her. She had even given them the very date they needed to pluck me out of my life and into this one.
She was outspoken and oozed confidence this future me. And she was young for a level 6, not much older than I was now. All in all she was a lot to live up to. Somehow I had to become the woman who would march right up to our bosses and tell them they had to hire me, an earlier me, with no training and who would believe she was dreaming when she first met the company representative.
I had been shocked at first to be invited to join Time Safe. But I had taken the opportunity once I had realized it was real, and never regretted it. I had had my hair genetically altered after hearing of my future self, and done my best to one day become her. I had done much in the 2 years I had been with the company, and risen to a level 4 quickly. I sometimes wondered if the promotions had simply been because they knew I would soon have to be a level 6 to keep with events that already happened, and so was determined each day to prove I was worthy of this position, even if I was still getting used to some of the amazing technology of this time.
I walked along the hallway looking for Froid or squad 7, who I was told I would be accompanying on a mission to Tolaria 1400. I had worked with this squad before, so they were used to the fact that I was often unable to pick up on the emotions of others around me. Empathy was something I seemed to lack, though I was learning to fake it, but I also seemed to lack a sense of fear and so was always the first to dive into a new mission and dangerous events.
Suddenly I turned a corner and nearly tripped over May, and two members of her squad. They were the ones I had been looking for at least, so if I had to physically bump into anyone at least it was them.

Taking a serious view of government school teachers remaining absent from duty in the name of doing work with NGOs, the Punjab government Tuesday directed the teachers that they can work with NGOs only after taking proper leave.
Punjab Education Minister Sikandar Singh Maluka said that absentee teachers and other staff of the government schools indulging in activities of NGOs and other voluntary organisations were hampering teaching in the government schools.
He said that necessary directions have been issued to concerned authorities to check the rising trend among teaching staff of shirking work.
"It is unfortunate that the teaching community is involved with one NGO or the other and remain absent from work," Maluka said, adding that concerned officers in districts have been told to initiate action against absentee teachers.
"If anybody wanted to be associated with NGOs and voluntary organisations, then prior sanctioned leave from the higher authorities was required so that the working of the institution was not hampered," the minister said.

Today's installment of my series on Biblical Slavery will focus exclusively on the plight of female slaves. My goal here is to get readers to resist the temptation to fall back on Christian counterarguments and allow themselves to stop and think about the horrors female slaves were subjected to. A more detailed analysis of the apologetic arguments regarding Biblical Slavery will be forthcoming in Part 4 of this series.
In my view, the ghastly nature of Biblical Slavery truly reveals itself when we consider how women were treated. Let's look again at Deuteronomy 20:15:
"When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. When theLord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies.This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby."
This scripture reaffirms the patriarchal structure of Old Testament society: women were subhuman plunder, sexual prizes to be won in victory. Even Hebrew women were viewed as little more than the property of their fathers and husbands. And if there's any doubt, Numbers 31 tells us exactly how female slaves were to be used:
"Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them. They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the Lord's people.Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
I know that there's a huge temptation here to delve into the murderous side of this passage, but let's set that part aside and focus instead on the last part. Why was it important for Israelites to select girls who hadn't slept with man, and how exactly does one go about screening them?
I'm quoting this verse in its full context to address one of the most common apologetic defenses of it: namely that the Midianite women were at fault for the mess that started the battle that Numbers describes. In case you're wondering, the enticement the passage refers to was tempting Israelite men into worshipping Baal by intermarrying across cultures.
Now to be fair, marrying across cultures during Biblical times wasn't the same as doing so nowadays. Scholars estimate that the population of Palestine (which includes Judea and neighboring nations) never exceeded 1 million during the 7th Century BCE, when Deuteronomy was likely written. So any culture that lost large numbers of its men to rival religions risked extinction. And make no mistake: intercultural marriages weren't any more romantic or respectful towards women than Israelite marriages were.
Of course, that doesn't justify the severity of Moses' command. We know from Numbers 31 that 32,000 girls were captured that day. It goes without saying that that these captives were not willing participants in their fate. We know that the primary value of female slaves in Biblical times was their reproductive ability (and, let's face it, sexual gratification for the victors).
Biblical Law forbade men from committing adultery even if it was cross-cultural, and it also condemned unmarried women who were not virgins to death by stoning. I recommend Joe Pranevich blog if you're curious about Old Testament marital customs. He has an excellent overview of virginity tests and the consequences newly married wives faced for failing them. (Long story short: a bloody sheet from a broken hymen was the key piece of evidence.)
Given that Israelite soldiers wanted to avoid the sin of having sex with nonvirginal slaves in the first place, pubescent female slaves were most valued since they could bear children, but they were not old enough to be married or savvy enough to rebel. Young girls also eliminated adultery concerns, and the nature of their enslavement meant that they were forced to marry and have sex with the men who slaughtered their families. If you have any doubts about the idea that female slaves were coveted for sexual gratification, Deuteronomy 21:10-14 emphasizes that girls were in face selected for that reason:
"When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her."
Stop and think about what this must have been like for these young women. How many of them were willing participants in their marriage? How many chose not to leave simply because life cast out of society was worse than being marriage to your conqueror?
Many Christians will insist that allowing female captives a month of mourning was exceedingly compassionate. But we're talking about institutionalized rape, molestation, subjugation, and physical abuse. A month of mourning hardly qualifies as compassion, and I doubt anyone could cope with a traumatic experience in such a brief window of time, especially since there was no escape from it. If you were a female prisoner of war, you wouldn't get freed after seven years like male Hebrew slaves, since you were your rapist's wife and the mother of his children. The verse that permits sexually unfulfilling slaves to be freed doesn't indicate compassion either, since these women were now sexually tainted and therefore unwanted pariahs in a strange land that would have treated them worse than slaves.
I want to emphasize this point again: by any moral understanding of a woman's dignity and her rights as a human being, the Old Testament instituted a system of socially condoned rape. Under the Law slaves did not own their bodies; their masters did. Their best case scenario would have been a variation of Stockholm Syndrome, where the woman would have fallen in love with her captor and rationalized her fate as a blessing so she could cope with it.
Like I said in my last post, when we think of Biblical slavery, we should pay respect to those who suffered under it and keep in mind that these were real people, not characters who exist only to teach moral lessons to future Christians. By acknowledging the full scope of what female slaves endured, we reflect the kind of compassion and empathy Jesus called us to embrace. Anything short of that condones the dehumanization and subjugation of women.

The Beara Peninsula to Dublin
... Kinsale was a very pretty town on a lovely harbour, with lots of brightly painted shops. I think the towns are trying to outdo each other, and this was the winner. I went for a lovely walk along the coast towards Charles Fort. Then on to the city of Cork with more traffic jams. We eventually managed to find a good place to park quite close to the centre (past the smelly Heineken brewery). It was very lively with lots of little pedestrian streets ...

Remember how Apple joined the growing number of merchants refusing to offer Black Friday deals last year? Well, the deals are back, but not in a way you'd expect.
The company announced yesterday, on a special section on its website, that it will offer a one-day, online-only sales event this Friday. It's unclear which products will be included in the event.
@DinaAsat Right now we are not sure what the deals will be, but the Apple Store App and our website is always the best source for info.
— Apple Support (@AppleSupport) November 22, 2016
The website, however, does give one hint to the eager shoppers: download the Apple Store app "for the fastest way to shop our one-day event" (and we know that speed is everything on Black Friday). The app is compatible with Apple Wallet, meaning customers will be able to quickly check out using Apple Pay.
It's clear that that Apple is now focusing its forces on e-commerce. But will that also drive traffic to its payment wallet? Apple Pay has been doing increasingly well, Tim Cook said during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call in October:
Apple Pay transactions were up nearly 500% year-on-year for the September quarter. In fact, we completed more transactions in the month of September than we did across all of fiscal 2015. And with Apple Pay support now built into Safari, hundreds of thousands of websites are bringing Apple Pay to their customers.
It's not news that digital — online and mobile — is now the preferred channel for the holiday shopping season. A recent study by PayPal revealed that millennials are "significantly more likely to shop while binge watching TV, in bed, on the toilet, or at the table" during this holiday season. So a one-day, online exclusive event (which prompts you to check out with Apple Pay) could indeed step up Apple Pay's adoption.Like This Post

Term-limited City Council members had their last council session today. As Houston Public Radio's Laurie Johnson reports — outgoing councilmember Carol Alvarado used part of her last council speech to advocate for an extension to the city's term limits.
A little over a decade ago, Houston enacted a term limit ordinance. Councilmembers and the mayor can serve up to three two-year terms. Carol Alvarado is leaving city council after serving six years. She says she believes the term limit experiment has run its course.
"I truly believe that neighborhoods advocate through their elected officials. Their elected officials are accountable and they want them to be knowledgeable about city government and I saw that on election day in District I. And I hope that we can be smarter about how we plan our city. Term limits has been a bad public policy and I truly think it needs to be eliminated."
Alvarado says six years isn't enough time to learn the intricacies of Houston's city government and that term limits short change the citizens. When asked about the subject, Houston Mayor Bill White said he has no plans to make a change to term limits a priority during his remaining time as mayor, but he agrees that six years doesn't seem long enough to be effective.
"My opinion is that the taxpayers would be better off and the beauracracy and lobbyists would have less influence if you had people that could build a little bit more experience sitting around this table."
The mayor was quick to add that he has no desire to change the law as it relates to his own term limits and will be happy to relinquish his role at the end of his term. Laurie Johnson, Houston Public Radio News.

I did this for www.Foshkos.com (also the facebook page is here). Every week my friend, let's call him John, and I try to come up with something funny to post to Foshkos. We'd like to build up an audience of like minded people to entertain…and this is our attempt to do that. So, usually Thursday to Friday-ish we text back and forth to figure what to do for the next week. More times than not he is the one with the idea…this one was all me though, probably why it's not as good as the others.
This is pretty straight forward with materials and technique. Blue pencils first, inks with tech pens and brush pens (a variety of them), scanned, cleaned in PhotoShop and letters done in Illustrator. Now you know.
Viking PSA
The Amazing Spider-kid
So, I know this isn't the best photo of artwork, but I forgot to scan or take a better photo before I handed this piece over. This is pen and ink over blue pencil. It was a project in which the guy wanted his kid illustrated in a Spider-man suit and swinging through the city…all Spider-man cover-style. He then had it framed and hung on the kid's bedroom wall. It was fun. I like Spider-man and drawing, so it worked out. I've debated on whether or not to offer this kind of thing as a regular service (since I get requests quite often). I might setup an ebay or etsy thing where people can go an order a custom piece like this. Stay tuned.
The Pouch Master
Here's a little something I did for Free Comic Book Day called the Pouch Master. You can download a file for your tablet or reader at Foshkos.com . Or you can see the full story plus bonus build-a-pouch artwork on the facebook page here. If you're into the Twitter thing you should follow us @Foshkos.
Green Lantern, Johns Stewart reads the internet
Rumors have been swirling through the internet that DC may kill off Green Lantern, John Stewart. You can see more of my comic stuff at the Foshkos facebook page
Merry Foshkos!!
I'd like to mark this holiday with the official beginning of my new endeavor, Foshkos. A group of art school friends and I am starting a place where we can entertain you with comic strips, games, apps, ebooks, and lots more. Above is the first illustration I have done for the group. Our official website will be up and running soon. Until then we will be posting fun stuff to our facebook page, which you will find here. Join us…won't you?
Toy Maker…and cat.
Here's a quick one today. It's a character design for a coloring book, that probably happened, but I never saw the end result. The idea was to create a look for a Toy Maker and his pet cat (I forget the cat's name). Long story short, the client wanted a fatter Toy Maker, I did that sketch (not sure where that is these days) and then I didn't hear anything more. Why would you want a fat Toy Maker anyway? A Fat Candy Maker sure, but a fat Toy Maker?
Who knows?
I did get paid for what was done, but I would have liked to do a full coloring book. Perhaps another time.
Unfinished Comics
Many of my recent postings deal with projects that for one reason or another didn't make it to the final stage. Well, here's one more of those. A friend contacted me about one of their friends being interested in doing a graphic novel. We'll call that guy Jim…for no reason other than I don't really remember his name. So, Jim had an entire graphic novel (about 90-100 pages) written and was looking for an artist. Our mutual friend put us in contact with each other and I said I was interested in the project. Jim offered to pay for the artwork, which was nice, and that if it went anywhere we'd do more work together. So, I said let me read some of the script, I'll do a sample page and then we can make revisions, adjustments, work on a timeline, figure out the whole thing. We agree and Jim sends me the script. It's good stuff. Crime, noir-ish. Set in Philly area. I forget the title, but it was something to do with Gentlemen (because that's what I named the file). I'm on board. I do the one page sample (posted here) and sent it off. A day or so later Jim calls me and gets my voicemail (don't remember what i was doing), but he says he likes it, has some ideas and wants to work on a few things. I think "Cool. Let's get this thing going". I call him back and get his voicemail. I leave a message saying "Sorry i missed your call. Sounds good. give me a call and let's discuss." A couple days later Jim calls me again and again I was unavailable (probably doing something important like organizing my sock drawer) and he leaves a message saying, "Hey sorry we keep playing phone tag. I'm going through some stuff, but I want to get this thing going. Give me a call". I understand stuff happens and going through it can be tough. So, I call him back probably an hour or so later and get his voicemail. Again, I say the same thing, "Sorry. Phone tag, blah blah blah, give me a call". And that's it. That's how the story ends. Jim never called back. I never heard anything from him again. Sorry, there isn't a better ending. Sometimes things just
Fishy tank sketches
Here are a few more sketches for some didn't-make-it-to-shelf products. The task was to create some concepts for some fun fish tanks and accessories. I went with a pirate theme and a graveyard theme…because I find them to be fun. The sketches include ideas for a tank, some little statue-like pieces, a background and some decals to add to the tank itself. The worst part about this project is I have no idea why this stuff was killed before it got any further. Just happens sometimes I suppose.
Enjoy what may have been, but probably never will be.
Back from the Past
Here's an ooooooooollllldddd illustration I did. It's acrylic and some airbrush (mostly the sky). So, this is an illustration for the concept of "Hunter" and "Prey". Not for a specific title or story. Just the concept. This took a ton of hours (which was tough considering I was in Art School and working part-time at the time).
Perhaps the biggest compliment I received from this piece came from the frontman of the band GWAR. Me and some of my friends decided to rent a table at a comic book show in NYC ( it was a smaller one in an old church). Well, the band GWAR happened to be there promoting there comic book stuff. My friends and I were trying to get our work out there and looking for gigs, but mostly ended up talking to each other rather than prospective clients. At least until the giant, perverse puppet-like creature, Oderus Urungus walked up to our table. He looked over our table and all the works, paused, pointed to the little fuzzy guy in the foreground of this illustration and proclaimed a sexual interest in it. He moved on and me and my friends looked at each other in disbelief and laughed.
One of my proudest moments, to say the least.
Fashion Show
Here are a couple of pieces I did for a pitch to a Health & Beauty client. The big piece is called a "technical". Used to show stylists a new…style. It includes a bunch of pencil sketches I did (from photo reference). Also included are a couple of flare pieces. They are sketches that I brought into PhotoShop to add some color and "attitude". This stuff is not really my forte, but it's always fun trying out some new stuff and stretching those unused fashion muscles.

If I had to single out the best shrub for year-round pleasure, it would have to be the dogwood, Cornus alba 'Elegantissima'. It doesn't flower, but it has everything else. I have two groups of three in the middle of a border. They are currently nearly 2m tall, and all light and airy, their green, oval leaves bordered with white.
They make an excellent background to anything I like to bed out in front of them, currently some bronze, early-flowering chrysanthemums. Into one group, a pink, late June-flowering Alstroemeria ligtu hybrid (1m) sowed itself and was charming in its season. Another self-sown interloper that makes me smile is the July-flowering Veratrum album (2m), with broad, ribbed leaves and candelabrums of white, starry flowers.
The cornus is deciduous, but its young stems in winter are carmine and gleam in low sunlight. They are underplanted with quite tiny, March-flowing bulbs - the little yellow trumpet daffodil, Narcissus minor, rich blue x Chionoscilla allenii, and a late-flowering snowdrop.
As soon as these have finished, at the turn of March and April, the dogwood is given its hard, annual cutback, down to about 70cm. The best colouring of its stems comes from young shoots, and this treatment ensures the brightest results. It also restricts the plants to a convenient size. They don't look much for the next few weeks; you may start to wonder if they'll ever get a move on. But they do, and will soon be arrayed with vigorous growth for the summer.
The bedding in front of them changes two or three times in the course of the season; this is an important area in front of the house. Between the groups of dogwood, there are colonies of white Japanese anemones, 'Honorine Jobert' (1.5m), and as they flower rather late, from July to October, they are interplanted with a large-headed mauve allium, A. cristophii (80cm). It is later engulfed by anemones, but is a great self-sower and easily established.
Another similar cultivar to C. alba 'Elegantissima' that you might like just as well (both have the RHS Award of Garden Merit), is the yellow-leaved 'Aurea'. It has all the same attributes except leaf colour. It looks excellent in the double mixed borders at Wisley, in early summer, with the rich blue cranesbill Geranium 'Brookside' threading through it. From the current geranium trial at Wisley, I should hazard that the similar but even more intensely coloured 'Orion' might be an even better choice.
A garden is a community with many intertwining threads.

I do not own any of the recognizable characters in this one shot.
Sam heard Cynthia Fee the moment he opened the front door. It was coming from Bobby's living room, and Sam had a feeling he would find both Bobby and his brother planted in front of the TV (where he had left a very sick Dean about thirty minutes ago to get supplies).
Sure enough, Bobby and Dean were both in the living room, accompanied by Cass. Sam smirked as he quietly carried the bag of groceries into the kitchen and began putting food and medication away, listening to the conversation.
"They live in this house together, yes?" Cass asked curiously.
"Yeah, Cass, it's about four elderly women who live in a house together in Florida," Dean replied, blowing his nose.
"I wish I were in Florida," Bobby muttered and Sam agreed with the older hunter. It had been a terrible winter, one that refused to go away anytime soon. Anywhere remotely warmer was an upgrade to below freezing temperatures and snow.
"Why are they in Florida?" Cass questioned overlooking Bobby's comment.
"Because Florida is the old people capitol of the world," Dean responded around three sneezes. "That's exactly why Bobby wants to be there. He's old." Bobby must have glared at the older Winchester because Dean croaked, "What? It's true."
"Just because I'm in this chair doesn't mean I won't swat you," Bobby warned softly.
"I'm sick," Dean whined. "You wouldn't hurt a sick man."
"Oh, now you're sick. A few hours ago you were right as rain."
"Shut up."
It was quiet for a few moments as the three guys went back to their show, but Cass was the first to break the silence. "How can rain be right?"
"It's just an expression, Cass," Dean informed the angel patiently, coughing.
"The human race is strange," Cass commented and Dean grunted in agreement.
Sam folded up the bag and stuck it in Bobby's pantry. He shrugged his jacket off, hanging it off one of Bobby's kitchen chairs, and then walked into the living room, plopping himself between Cass and Dean. "What are we watching?" he asked curiously.
"A show about Florida and how it is the elderly capitol of the world," Cass deadpanned, watching the show intently.
"Ah." Sam nodded, fighting a smile. "And why are you watching this?"
"There ain't anything else on," Bobby replied sharply.
"That's not true. We can always…" Sam reached for the remote, but Bobby swatted his hand with a fly swatter. "Ow," the taller Winchester muttered pulling his hand away from the remote. "Or we can just watch this." He sank back, into the cushions, his flannel barely touching Cass' trench coat and Dean's blue blanket.
It was silent for the remainder of the episode, but as a second one started (apparently there was a marathon on or something), Dean cleared his throat, sneezed into his blanket, and said, "I'd bang Blanche if she were real."
"What?" Sam glanced at Dean, giving him a curious look.
"I have a feeling 'bang' does not mean what I think it means," Cass commented cocking his head as he studied Dean, silently asking for an explanation.
"He means 'have sex' Cass," Sam explained and the angel nodded, staring at the television again.
"I'm just saying," Dean started, defending himself, "she wasn't that bad looking for an old broad. And, well, look at me." he gestured to himself, grinning at the others. "I'd be a catch for her. Though, I'd have to worry about her hip or whatever, but that's a chance I'm willing to take."
"Ugh, Dean, really?"
"What? We would have a…"
"Stop," Sam snapped waving his hands to shut his brother up.
"I've always liked Sophia," Bobby said offhandedly.
"Really? You're actually participating in this ridiculous conversation?" Sam asked glancing at the oldest hunter.
"If it bothers you go make me some soup," Dean replied, grinning when Sam threw him a glare.
"I like that one," Cass commented pointing at Rose. "She reminds me that not everything has to be so complicated."
Sam shook his head, letting his eyes settle on the screen again. He really didn't want to contribute to the discussion, but, before he could stop himself, he blurted out, "What about Dorothy?"
"Surprise, surprise," Dean replied sarcastically.
"Of course you'd ask about her," Bobby muttered.
"What?" Sam questioned furrowing his eyebrows.
"She was like a freaking lumberjack compared to the rest of the cast," Dean replied glancing at his brother.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It is obvious," Cass said still watching the episode. "Dean has suggested that you are tall, as is Dorothy. He is not wrong, either. You both are taller than your friends."
"The tall folk have to stick together," Dean commented and Bobby laughed. Even Cass smiled slightly.
Sam got up, shaking his head, and started towards the kitchen.
"Where are you going?" Dean called after him.
"To make your damn soup," Sam replied over his shoulder.
"I never knew lumberjacks were so touchy," Bobby said and Sam could hear Dean laugh.
"Sam did not touch anyone," Cass responded sounding a tad confused, most likely giving Dean another head cock, seeking an explanation.
"Just watch the show, Cass," Dean stated softly.
This idea has been bugging me for weeks. I've recently started watching The Golden Girls. The show is addicting and I started comparing those characters to SPN's main four (I'm a freak, we've established this). I really need to get a life, I know, but until then I do weird crap like write this.
So, I really hope you liked this. I know I need to work on my other stories, but like I said this has been bugging me, and I thank you for reading.
See ya!

Outside of scoring his first goal of the Major League Soccer season against the Montreal Impact over the weekend, it sure has been a rough going lately for DC United forward Eddie Johnson.
After being left off Jurgen Klinnsman's 2014 World Cup roster last week, MLS suspended Johnson on Tuesday for what MLS called a "reckless challenge" against Montreal goal keeper Troy Perkins. Johnson was also fined an undisclosed amount and will serve his one-game suspension this week, missing out on DC United's Wednesday match-up against the Houston Dynamo.
Johnson had been on a cold-streak since signing with DC in the off-season, but scored his first goal with the club on Saturday in the 84th minute to give the Black and Red a 1-1 tie against Montreal. The play for which Johnson will be suspended for came in the 60th minute of the game.
The MLS players union appealed the suspension on Johnson's behalf, but it was denied on Tuesday. Johnson was also fined an undisclosed amount for a second time after making contact with the face of Montreal defender Wandrille Lefevre in the same game.
Here are the other MLS suspensions this week:
MLS also suspended Portland Timbers defender Alvas Powell for one additional game this week for a foul play on Columbus Crew defender Chad Barson. The foul occurred in the 34th minute of the Timbers' game against the Crew on Saturday and Powell was issued a red card immediately.
That game ended in a 3-3 draw and MLS also issued fines to the Crew and head coach Greg Berhalter for breaking the league's mass confrontation policy in the 85th minute.
Also suspended this week for issued red cards are Erik Palmer-Brown of Sporting Kansas City and Philadelphia Union midfielder Cristian Maidana. Chivas USA's Oswaldo Minda will also miss a game due to yellow card accumulation.
What do you think of Johnson's suspension? Was it fair? Thinks DC United can stand against the Dynamo without him?
Share your thoughts below.
Bach's Thumb
What a joke. This guy is a lazy punk. Cut your losses DC.
Lil' Zeke
Reckless challenges are serious business actually. And perhaps you're not aware of the extra hours Eddie puts in each week on behalf of a number of charities. It's not always been easy (with that reckless challenge urge always lurking just beneath the surface); but throught hard work Eddie's stayed mostly on the straight and narrow. And he just missed the cut toward possible World Cup participation this time around.
You on the other hand don't know what you're talking about
The Imperative Voice
All due respect but a trained soccer player understands where the line is. I was a defender with crunching tackles and I never earned a red for it. It arguably reflects the same poor self-control that leads him to take a process where he is respected again with a decent Seattle team and blow it up in favor of more money with a poorer DC side (even after his past experience with "take the money" decisions, ie, his awful stint in Europe). He is his own worst enemy.
Gary Page
I did not see the play for which he has been disciplined. I wonder if anyone commenting here has. If not, you have no business reaching a conclusion. As for crossing the line, forwards are usually lousy defenders and it is not unusual for an attacker to get a card. Paul Scholes, who was supposed to be a midfielder, was one of the worst I have ever seen in that regard. How many suspensions has EJ gotten in his career? A lot of people jump to conclusions without knowing salient facts. I don't recall EJ getting many cards in the past or serving suspensions and he has played quite a few years in MLS. I don't know the answers to the questions I raise because I am just now reading these comments. However, as I often do, I urge posters to know what they are talking about before slamming some player.
The Imperative Voice
He drags his foot on the play with the keeper (IMO), and he also engages in a little bit of face-shoving afterwards.
But, of course, no bid-ness, etc…….
Gary, when he scored the other day, someone posted HE shouldn't have been on the field after the incident with the keeper. I didn't see it and asked what happened and a few replies back and forth ranged from nothing to he should have been red carded..
I didn't see the tape till last night, so haven't commented till now.
When he breaks through it sure looks like he drags his right foot into the keepers head. You can see the clip on the mls site.
Then a scrum follows and EJ puts a finger in someone's face.. barely.. but that's a no no…
Take a look for yourself, there's not a good reverse angle, but to me it looks like he drags his right foot into his face, and the suspension is warranted
Bach's Thumb
He left his foot in to hit Perkin's face. It was incredibly dirty.
Don Burto
That's great with the crunching tackles, but how did the year go when you made it to U-12
Landy Cakes
MLS suspension is the key to success for a transfer. Worked for Dempsey, now EJ.
Bach's Thumb
This deserves some sort of info graphic. Who do we need to suspend next to get them moving?
Gary Page
After Dempsey was suspended a lot of posters then went off saying he was historically a dirty player. So, I looked it up. In 6 seasons in the EPL he had a total of 2 red cards. It didn't say, but I'm guessing at least one was for yellow card accumulation. People here don't just jump to conclusions, they often take prodigious leaps.
Andy in Atlanta
Eddie Johnson bashing is a full time job on this website. I'm not an Eddie lover but the guy is a good enough player to warrant the salary he receives his attitude and locker room demeanor is much better than people give him credit for. And quite honestly despite his stupid comments he deserved to be on the World Cup roster ahead of guys like Boyd and a completely untested Julian Green
Bach's Thumb
"and locker room demeanor is much better than people give him credit for."
Complete bullsh*t. He's been a locker room cancer everywhere and that's factual.
Andy in Atlanta
Incorrect what that is is hearsay that gets repeated so many times that people think it becomes fact. It is very tea party-esque. Everyone on the national team thinks Eddie is a great teammate. The only person that hates on Eddie all the time is Taylor Twellman who is in the commentating booth now.
Eddie came back from Europe with his tail between his legs and has worked his butt off to secure the contract he got from DC United. He will be motivated by the World Cup snub and his teammates do not hate him I know that for fact.
So much about Eddie is complete hyperbole is supposed to complete failure in Europe, His me me me attitude. The truth is Eddie is a streaky goalscorer that is what he is.
Andy, you can see my comments below with IV, I agree with much of what you're saying. I think the "limited" number of pundits ie: TT, etc, have fueled the attitude aspect of his exclusion..
But I personally think JK just didn't like what he's seen out of him ON the field, both in the camp before SK, and this season..
I appear to be in the minority, which is fine, I'm basing it off what I've seen of him this year on the field, not speculations, rumors, and his past.
Gary Page
I see my previous comment has been taken down even though it had salient facts. Let me put it another way. I remember when EJ first played for the US as a 19 year old and came on a scored a couple of goals in only 2 or 3 games and a lot of people were wondering where he came from as he seemingly came out of nowhere. That was almost 10 years ago and I have at least paid attention to his career ever since, saw his first entrance for Fulham, saw him play in MLS before and after. In all that time, only in the last few days have I seen this charge that he is lazy. Where does this come from if not from someone's imagination? If it were true, you would think that it would have come up before now. A person doesn't play professional soccer for a decade and all of a sudden get lazy.
Hahahaha I always get a kick out of these "lazy" comments. Like you know the details of his training regiment. There is a reason he's playing professional soccer and has represented the US and you're here posting troll comments
Bach's Thumb
Your argument is that everyone who criticizes Eddie Johnson attempted to become a professional soccer player and failed and that's why we're not on the soccer field…?
Good luck with that.
You can criticize him for taking the money (I don't blame him for picking financial security at the downside of his career). You can criticize him for his over reliance on step overs or his lack of recent production but calling him lazy with no evidence is bush league analysis. Educate yourself
Bach's Thumb
I'm calling him lazy by his own words and actions and basically his entire professional career.
Interesting fluff narrative when Johnson signed with Seattle about how he's a changed man and no longer lazy, selfish, and a bad teammate.
Took a grand total of a single season for that entire new facade to come tumbling down. Again.
The only one to use the word lazy was the author, definitely not his own words. He even says himself "I don't know where the perception came from". The only talk about being selfish or a bad teammate comes from the authors hypothetical situation of how HE thinks a younger Johnson would have reacted in those situations. No direct quotes from teammates, nothing. A lack of focus or being immature does not mean he was lazy. If anything working his way back from hitting rock bottom after a close family member suddenly died is the opposite of lazy.
Its telling that you read Sporting News. Its common knowledge that they use sensationalist journalism to generate clicks. Just look at how they have covered the Winston case
Andy in Atlanta
This….so much!
One has to ask how come the work ethic issues came up at Dallas and KC? Bradley, now, and guys before him like McBride, and Friedel played for different teams in US and Europe, and issues of work ethics never arose.
I tried to find the story, but I remember an interesting one on how he talked about being successful with the help of a soccer coach who served as a life coach, too–one who would kick him in the butt. I think it was when he was at Dallas.
It was his coach growing up in Bunnell, Florida that would drive him to practice and help keep him out of trouble because he grew up in a bad area
The Imperative Voice
Whatever people think of him, if he was producing this year he'd be in camp. He's where he is because of his poor transfer decision. Character wasn't an issue when he was scoring.
I'd add something to that comment:
Most have assumed he didn't make the camp solely because of his lack of goal production,
Others (like Twellman) have said his recent comments sealed his fate..
I would submit that his overall lack of effort was a prime reason for his exclusion. In the games I watched he looked uninterested, walked around, lacked hustle etc.
In that interview on mls site last week, the ex usmnt assistant coach said the same thing..
I find it annoyingly ironic that people criticize JK for leaving him out, yet it was JK who came in and gave him tons of chances and helped resurrect his career when he was an outcast from the usmnt.
The Imperative Voice
Valderrama: if you produce well you can stand around. It never proved a title winning recipe in MLS but he was so accurate passing he was never held to a high work rate.
But I agree with the spirit of your comment in as much as coaches would likely view a low producing player with work ethic and attitude issues signs his own pink slips. Even when Wondo was a non-scoring bench player he would chase defenders and try and make himself useful. If you're in a slump it helps to have other traits to offer. About all EJ does it poach.
Maybe he thought he had the team made and was going to cash in at DC and coast into the Brazil squad, that he wasn't going to hurt himself doing too much. I'm sure some players coast a little this particular year in the cycle. But he wasn't the starter so he probably overestimated how much slack he'd be given. He also probably overlooked how his history impacts how another slump is seen. JK likely knows enough to know this may be a 2 year resolution before he gets himself together again.
Yea I don't know. As Andy in Atlanta said above there's a lot of stuff thrown around about him (including Twellman) yet I've never heard of anything negative from his usmnt teammates. He's admitted some things and some things have been written about him that are opinion pieces.
I just think that since JK already had so much invested in him, and certainly gave him a restart with the usmnt, he had to have seen something that he thought justified lowering him on the rating board.
I personally haven't commented on that aspect of this issue specifically because it never seemed to be a Nat Team issue, which is what JK cared about. He hadn't scored yet, but I based my opinion on what I personally watched which was based on his effort and engagement etc…
well it is amazing isnt it that EJ demonstrates first hand why he did not make the WC list.

- Cert 12A, 102 mins
I'm so grateful for a civilised film at last: it hardly matters to me what Literary Correct folk think of writer-director Neil LaBute's adaptation of AS Byatt's 1990 Booker Prizewinning novel. Not a lot, I imagine. Fancy replacing the earnest English scholar of the novel with an unkempt American, they'll say. Why, the chap doesn't shave. He wears big T-shirts outside his trousers, totes his research papers in a shoulder bag, describes his morning ablutions as "brush and flush", and is likely to bring the British Museum, where he works as a research assistant, into disrepute by discovering and impulsively purloining a hitherto unknown love letter. It's from Randolph Henry Ash (Jeremy Northam), a Victorian poet laureate, to Christobel LaMotte (Jennifer Ehle), a lesser-known literary lioness whom Ash makes his mistress.
I think it's years since an American character showed up on screen - Hannibal Lecter excepted - who took the slightest interest in literary works. LaBute will predictably be damned for his chauvinist presumptuousness in casting a hunky Yank go-getter instead of a picky British gent as the exponent of grey matter.
Aaron Eckhart - a LaBute regular ever since his debut film In the Company of Men - maybe doesn't do a better job than svelte Jeremy Irons might have. But his brashness is a blessed relief in a story where one more custom-tailored English accent would have left me gasping for air in a too rarefied atmosphere. He helps to popularise the novel without vulgarising it.
Roland Michell (Eckhart) has a scholar's cupidity: he's greedy for "possession" of his unique find, but soon realises he needs the help of Maud Bailey (Gwyneth Paltrow), a gender studies academic at Lincoln University, to decode the stolen letter and lay bare the secret ties between Ash, LaMotte and her lesbian companion Blanche (Lena Headey).
Maud herself is a relative of LaMotte by some vague lateral branch of the family.
With her crisp but colourless tailoring, hair scraped slightly too tightly into a Victorian bun and a voice that can put a guy like Roland in the freezing tray ("Did you not do any reading before you came?"), Paltrow is what you could call a fishnet bluestocking: seductively donnish. She satirises, so delicately you could miss it, the feminist itch to validate the credentials of women who love women more than they need men.
But, as she and Eckhart tease new clues out of old documents - including a hoard of love letters found in one of those venerable English piles inhabited by a dotty titled relation (pop-eyed Graham Crowden) - she has to submit her Victorian heroine to a revisionist "re-reading" and admit that LaMotte had the hots for Ash, jilted her lesbian lover and consummated her passion in the very bedstead where eventually the two contemporary detectives bring their own research to climax.
LaBute cuts back and forth, with intriguing finesse, between this couple of academic opportunists tumbling on the truth and the pair of eminent Victorians tumbling in the bedsheets. In the aftermath of passion, guilt hangs like a pall over all the parties. Victorian values and a tragic suicide stain the 19th century affair of the heart, while the 20th century affair of the mind reveals more to Paltrow about her own sexual identity than she was prepared for.
The film challenges comparison with the Karel Reisz/Harold Pinter version of John Fowles's The French Lieutenant's Woman, which also ran its 19th and 20th century romances in tandem to a tragic-ironic conclusion. LaBute's movie has the stylistic edge. As the emotional connection is made between ancient and modern, its time-tripping technique becomes less timorous, bolder and more allusive.
Jean-Yves Escoffier's camera merely needs to turn its head, from Roger and Maud driving along Whitby Bay to Ash and LaMotte's steam-train puffing towards the same assignation, and one period falls imaginatively and beautifully into step with the other.
Luciana Arrighi's production design shows the two Englands - and one brief cross-Channel hop to Brittany - as much the products of their changing times as the two sets of lovers are - one burdened by the constraints of Victorian society and the other by the confusion of contemporary freedoms.
Jeremy Northam's astringent Ash and Ehle's enigmatic LaMotte are the richer roles. These characters pay a savage penalty for their transgression; Eckart's Michell and Paltrow's Maud simply reap the rewards of their curiosity, and possibly plight their troth in a joint publication.
The sub-plotlet of another couple of obsessive archivists (Toby Stephens, Trevor Eve) trying to beat them to the auction rooms with the priceless letters works only spasmodically and turns into farcical crudity when it brings all present-day parties to fisticuffs on top of the poet's grave.
The film's loss lies in the novel's richness of literary pastiche, A S Byatt's exuberant mock-up of High Victorian epistolatory prose and purplish poetry. Hearing voice-over extracts read from letters or verses gives the flavour, but not the savour of Byatt's formidable erudition.
There's a very slight over-emphasis on Establishment Englishness and cultural superiority of the sort that a predominant cast of Brits - even Gwyneth Paltrow simulates a perfect English acent - directed by a prestigious American insists on delivering so as to ensure the foreigner gets the national tone and temper right. Thus the very word "American" is pronounced just like that, in patronising quotation marks, though the real eyebrow-raising gaffe is hearing a British Museum department head saying: "I believe that may be her," instead of "... that may be she": I expected better of Great Russell Street.
All these are semantic quibbles. Even in its rendered-down state, reduced to cinematic essentials and without the succulent fat of Byatt's scholarship, nine-tenths of Possession is immensely satisfying, an engrossing quest for love letters and libido. We're rewarded with a genuine feel-good ending that lets us - and us movie-goers alone - into the last secret to stump even the scholarly detectives. You don't often come out of a film feeling so privileged.
