SEATTLE – All eyes were on Clint Dempsey. But anyone who has watched Eddie Johnson since he joined the Seattle Sounders knew to keep tracking that lone golden dome as it zipped around the pitch Sunday night.
It took an hour. An hour of increasingly physical play, Sounders buildups full of false hope, promising counterattacks from the visitors, near misses from both sides.
But in the 60th minute Johnson got just enough on a Mauro Rosales free kick to send a glancing header past goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts and put the Seattle Sounders up 1-0 over the Portland Timbers. It was Johnson's sixth goal in just nine matches against Pacific Northwest rivals Vancouver and Portland.
"Eddie does what he does," said Dempsey after his first match in Seattle, "he comes up in big moments and helps you score."
The lead held over the final 30 minutes, lifting the Sounders over their fiercest rivals, edging them back into the playoff mix, and welcoming Dempsey to town in front of 67,385 at CenturyLink Field.
Andrew Jean-Baptiste nearly equalized with a snap header from the top of the six-yard box late in stoppage time, but Michael Gspurning came up with the save to preserve the win. Gspurning also made a fingertip save on a Darlington Nagbe shot in the 88th minute.
The crowd was the second largest in history for a stand-alone MLS match, the largest ever for a Sounders' game.
"I still pinch myself every time I see that," said Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid about the relatively few times the team has opened the entire stadium.
The victory pushes the Sounders (11-8-4, 37 points) into fifth place in the Western Conference and extends their home unbeaten streak to 10 games (7-0-3).
It also gives Seattle a 3-1-3 record against the Timbers since Portland joined the league two seasons ago.
"We're always gonna be the team to beat," said starting center back and long-time Sounder Zach Scott. "They can say there's a changing of the guard. They can say we're a group of stars and they're the team, but in the end we're the ones that are going to come out victorious."
The Sounders have now won four of their last five matches, and with Obafemi Martins out with an ankle injury on Sunday have yet to play at full strength since signing Dempsey.
The victory also moves Seattle into first place in the Cascadia Cup, the fan-sponsored annual competition with Portland and Vancouver for regional bragging rights.
The Timbers (9-4-12, 39 points) played a midweek match and came into the night missing Diego Chara to suspension and Will Johnson to injury. While still in sole possession of fourth place in the conference, Portland now finds itself only two points ahead of Seattle and FC Dallas for the last playoff spot in the West. The Timbers have won just once in their last six matches (1-2-3) and with the loss fell to 0-1-3 in the Cascadia Cup.
Portland head coach Caleb Porter saw positives in the loss, but also lamented his team's continuing struggles with set pieces.
"We're going to continue to be in every single game we play, and not just hoping to win, but expecting to win," Porter said. "I thought the performance was good, the mentality was good. I thought especially in the first half, we controlled large periods [of the game]. I thought at times we were the better team. But, in the end, we're going to keep suffering if we don't find goals and if we don't continue to sort out set pieces."
Defender Michael Harrington agreed.
"We just need to be a little bit more ruthless on both sides of the ball in the boxes," said the 27-year-old left back.
Both teams missed on multiple first-half chances, with the Timbers controlling possession and repeatedly threatening through Diego Valeri's midfield distribution.
In just the fourth minute, Seattle defender DeAndre Yedlin cleared a Jack Jewsbury header off the line. Barely two minutes later Shalrie Joseph found himself unmarked at the back post on a Brad Evans free kick, but slammed a header into the FieldTurf and well wide.
In the 16th minute, Ryan Johnson ran onto a gorgeous Valeri through-ball, splitting Seattle's central defenders to get himself alone against Gspurning. But the 6-foot-5 Austrian got low in a hurry, charging to smother the ball at Johnson's feet.
Valeri, brilliant throughout the first half, nearly scored himself in the 35th minute, collecting a pass from Khalif Alhassan and slapping the right post from 22 yards out.
A game full of missed chances, until it wasn't.
"This is a game of moments," said Porter. "You lose a moment, you lose a game. You get punished. It's cruel."
Looking forward, the Sounders travel to Ohio to face the Columbus Crew (8-12-5, 29 points) on Saturday. Portland visits league-leading Real Salt Lake (13-8-6, 45 points) on Friday. The Sounders and Timbers play for a third and final time on Oct. 13 at Jeld-Wen Field in Portland.
Was overall an even game, both teams wasted some quality chances and Seattle were saved by the bar once. The first half was pure entertainment and a great advertisement for MLS, second half turned a bit thuggish but that happens in rivalry games. Seattle needs to keep Joseph away from the field, he was incredibly bad tonight. Thought Ricketts was really poor tonight for Portland as well, not sure what he was doing a couple times. Nagbe has really put it together more this year, a couple of his runs really put Seattle in trouble. Big result for Seattle, if they can get going on a run they are in a nice spot to move up.
Not the highest skill level you will ever see in an MLS match, but the pace, the intensity and the atmosphere were all of the charts. Deuce looked good, especially in setting up his teammates, but his timing is mist a hair off. He will get there soon.
Gary Page
I vote this as the best comment here. To which I would add Valeri looks to have the makings of a great player. And the entry of Rosales changed the game completely to Seattle's favor. Wish that Stu Holden would get and keep healthy, we need a playmaker like him, as good as the Latins I mentioned.
The game was OK. I was more impressed by Portland then Seattle especially in the first half. Overall great crowd, horrible start time, and ok game all in all a typical MLS game.
"horrible start time"..
Cascadia runs on West coast time.
7pm on a sunday is still a horrible start time. For the biggest TV audience you're better off at 3 or 4pm
you're talking about the same league that had their two biggest stars (Donovan and Beckham) playing on the same team in LA that routinely played their games at 10:00 p.m. or later on the east coast. It's almost as if MLS has given up on trying to boost tv ratings.
You're right. Next time we'll totally consult you. Oh, wait, no one cares what you think, particularly here on the West Coast.
Seriously, you would think East Coast folks don't know there are people living out here. WTF? The game was in prime time for the region in which it took place. Which, as some seem not to understand, is where millions of people, many of them in the hometowns of the clubs involved, happen to live.
I mean really, duh.
SBI's avg. EST fanboy in a nutshell
MLS fan
1) Dempsey not worth DP money
2) kah should have seen red
3) Alonso got away w way 2 many yellow offenses
4) MLS refereeing has long way 2 go
5) MLS needs more rivalries
I agree that Dempsey was invisible…
That's because you were watching the Revs game. He doesn't play for them anymore.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
LOL. Dempsey has opened up the field for the rest of the Sounders, without a doubt. They used to say that about NKufo, but I thought that was wrong.
Rosales will gain the most from this. No more keying on him and figuring the rest of the team will not get it done.
Gary Page
Dempsey had an overhead kick that was on frame but blocked by a defender, a shot into the left corner that was pushed aside by the diving keeper and a pass to EJ that would have sent him through one on one only EJ was a bit offside. Dempsey should have shot instead of p@ssed. Only Messi scores every game. It was not a great game for Dempsey, but the expectations of some people are ridiculous. As the announcers pointed out, it took Cahill and Henry almost a whole season to get used to the league and start to become productive. This was Dempsey's third game and in the first he came on as a late sub.
He is in pre season shape . . . his legs are probably halfway where they need to be. He is on a field with guys who have been humming along for months.
take a step back and think about that . . . he literally just joined the team, is getting a feel for the new teammates and playing style, and hadnt played a game on that surface yet.
Donovan to Everton.
I think 5) is the only one I agree with you on.
2) Kah was acting like an a-h@le, but I personally would have hated to see the game changed so dramatically through a sending off. I don't think his challenges, or his knee, warranted red. Plus the Timbers got punished anyway when his foul led to the free kick that led to the goal.
3) You're implying that Alonso should have been red carded. Again, to change the dynamic so much by putting one team on the power play for the rest of the game, I just don't agree with. Of course there are certain circumstances where a red has to be issued, but for me, they should be egregious circumstances.
4) I liked the ref. He let them play. Hate refs that pull out cards every 5 seconds, INCLUDING for flops and dives and embellishments. This guy wasn't having it.
1) Not even going to humor this one.
Totally sick cover picture by the way.
Unbelievable atmosphere tonight. It was just as charged as the Portland game last year at Centurylink field. This was by far my favorite match of the year. MLS needs more of these kinds of rivalry games. Timbers looked dangerous in the first half, but Sounders were dominant in the second half. Gspurling was the man of the match. But most importantly it just feels good to be to Timbers.
I mean beat the Timbers! Damn voice technology.
Sounders just need to find some more width on the field. Its always going to be hard against teams as well organized as Portland or Houston with everyone in the middle. Sounders looked much stronger when Rosales starting hitting in a few crosses. That threat pulled off the fullback creating space for everyone else. I think they'll figure it out.
With Chara out, Seattle was trying to play through the middle. I agree they were more effective in attack going wide when Rosales came in and Evans went center-mid.

I like the love taps that Dempsey gave Kah, specially the one after EJ scored. Minds tend to remember moments like this for the next "get-together"
first MLS game i've watched this season. And i could barely get through it to be honest. Part of the reason was that horrible carpet they play on. Don't tell me it doesn't affect the play. It does. Players rarely go for a tackle on that carpet. If you do you get your whole leg scrapped up.
Sounders need a SSS really bad.
It's hard to play a beautiful game on such an ugly surface, but watching the game the struggles weren't down to the field in my estimation. Too many players running into the same areas, not enough players running to open up space. Dempsey in particular was a sort of wrecking ball just charging into different areas with or without the ball and running into his own teammates.
Matt C
Jack, couldn't agree more. Over the years i've tried to watch Seattle matches but the play is just really hard on the eyes. I have not been able to watch a full match despite some real talent on the field.
Kudos to the fans and managment out there, but that carpet is horrible. Finely weighted thru-balls are almost endangered species in Seattle.
Nagbe had a perfectly weighted through ball on his first attempt last night. Just saying.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
My new name says it all. IF you don't like it quit watching, no one in Seattle is going to miss you.
But the real problem is a SSS isn't going to solve the problem that it's really dang hard to grow and maintain grass fields in Seattle. Instead of focusing on how hot it would be in the south, maybe MLS should have acknowledged that turf fields are going to be a constant problem in the Pac NW.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
Yeah, the other problem is that Chelsea would trade stadiums with us in a second. It is one of the best stadiums in the world.
They aren't going to build a 70k soccer stadium…especially, especially, expecially in Seattle. The laws we passed made it virtually impossible.
So anyone who is doing so, quit whining about soccer in the US and enjoy it, I have been involved for 40 years, it has never been better.
Its as if they just can't quantify the gap. Soccer is a mainstream sport in the PNW. pay attention to your own team – grow the sport in your own area.
Keep the cheer leaders ..
why is it hard to maintain grass fields in Seattle? Because of rain? Ever been to Scotland?
It's hard in Scotland too—which is why several Scottish pro teams have artificial turf fields. And more will follow suit in the next few years.
But no, it's not impossible. It's just really expensive to maintain a grass surface that is better than an artificial surface.
Yeah, you're right. We need a SSS really, really bad because there were only 67K there last night in our SSS. Seriously, go watch EPL. No MLS fan wants you here.
Quit whining about turf you've obviously never played on
Name says it all. LOL. Jeebus, so many Americans know so little about the various surfaces various teams play on.
I played on Turf and lived to tell about it
The silliest comments are the ones complaining about how impossible it is to "play a beautiful game" or tiki-taka on turf. No gr@ss field is as smooth and even as Field Turf. It means that passes stay straight and low because they don't bounce off bumps and divots like on gr@ss fields. And if you really want to p@ss the visitors to death, water that turf before the match—the ball speeds along!
Yes, it's quite different than playing on gr@ss. But until every gr@ss field is uniformly lush and clean, that complaint is inconsistent.
True, goal kicks bounce really high off turf if no one gets underneath them—but why on earth at this level would no one get under a goal kick?!
I think everyone would choose a perfectly maintained gr@ss field over any other surface, but when comparing field turf to gr@ss, it's important to be specific about which gr@ss field. Because there are a lot of gr@ss fields that are not better than a top quality field turf installation.
For example, the gr@ss on Antigua and Barbuda's joke of a home field / cricket ground is *not* better than the field turf in Century Link. Whereas I'm fairly certain (but do not know with 100% certainty) that the gr@ss field at Schalke's home stadium is probably just fantastic and definitely better than the field turf in Century Link.
There seems to be a great deal of ignorance out there among American soccer fans who quite simply just don't know the difference between astro turf circa 1977 and field turf circa 2013. And they don't see to want to know, either. Would rather just ignorantly conflate injury statistics from 30 years ago as some type of statement that has meaning today.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
The problem is America soccer fans have become a bunch of whiners.
Oh the turf in El Salvador is too hard and the Jamaica surface is bumpy…….wahhhh.
Repeat….Name says it all.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
I'm changing my name to "Quit whining about soccer in the US" out of solidarity.

Great picture
Old School
I was entertained.
How long before Clint complains about the turf? I'm convinced it took away a goal from him. Loved him getting into it with the Portland defender. That's the side of Deuce that I love.
Ok game…… great atmosphere.
Portland came out using san jose's game plan. play rough and look for cheap fouls. Ref should have pulled out the red card on kah who was completely deserving of it and I'm sure will get a game suspension for putting his knee into Eddie's head.
Dempsey needs targets up top and with both Johnson and Martins playing it will get better besides getting in tune with the rest of the team. Rosales needs to be out there instead of Joseph, which by the way was bad…very bad. His effort was embarrassing.
Seattle has some good players but also have a few really poor players too………..
Good god. Give it a freaking rest. Everyone. Shut up about the damn Field Turf. It is what it is. We understand you don't like it. We also really don't care what you think.
and we don't care what you think.. the carpet is terrible.
many of us care that it's a terrible field, you're mistaken on that one friend
Should all legit criticisms you don't want to hear about be given a rest? Its a joke to play on that crap as much as it is for a baseball player to slide on astroturf.
Put the ball betwixt the stix
Watched last night like everyone else. The atmosphere is fantastic. The field turf is noticeably poor. I've heard the arguments on the boards before but it just doesn't work as well as a natural pitch. We will all be loving the Sounders attendance, fan culture, DPs, etc. from afar but will never accept turf as a legit playing surface for top tier games.
Yes.I've been watching MLS since the beginning and the things that have bothered me most were the NFL numbers,lines, and artificial surfaces.It's much better now though.There were times when I thought the league would fold.It has come a long way.
I thought Seattle took a page from the Quakes with their cheap fouls and flopping around. Alonzo deserved at least a yellow card on his breakaway pull down on Nagbe in the second half.
If the MLS Disciplinary Committee will not suspend Lenhart for his antics, why would they step in here? There is needs to be some consistency.
It was pretty clearly the Timbers who instigated the cheap fouling tactics in this match. Valeri flopped more than once, both Portland center backs could/should have seen red cards.
However, you are correct that Alonso should have gotten a yellow for foul accumulation if not straight yellow for the foul on the break.
Kah should have but not with the way that game was being played. Not sure what you are talking about in reference to AJB.
As a complete neutral in this game, I'd say Alonso definitely deserved a yellow for his grab, not sure what you mean by at least though. Clearly was not a red. Have to say that Portland definitely came in determined to be felt/physical, kick, chop every time SEA received a ball. In general, I prefer a ref that lets things go, but this one got out of hand. First a verbal warning…. then cards should have been shown much earlier to set a tone. The wild scissors from behind by Kah on Johnson could easily have been a red.
What are everyone's thoughts on Caleb Porter's post-game comments complaining about fouls? I am a Sounders fan, and I definitely saw Alonso get away with one I thought could have been a yellow card (the shirt tug on a breaking Nagbe). Overall I thought Portland got off much lighter than they should have with just the yellow to Kah. He should have been sent off for the Johnson challenge, and between he and Jean-Baptiste they laid down quite a few nasty, reckless tackles of the kind that send people back to the training room.
Anyone think that Kah will get re-visited by the disciplinary committee for his knee to the head?
Josh D
I thought it went both ways and Portland's were more cynical. I thought the ref did a poor job of controlling the game and by the 70th minute, it just turned into a bit of a brawl.
Portland were defiantly roughing up Dempsey. But I didn't think they did anything crazy too him. Just went in hard.
typical Marufo called game, and Portland seems to always play like this on the road
Alonso clearly should have been booked, the foul on Nagbe when he was breaking is a clear yellow, also he earned one just through repeated fouls. However Porter has no leg to stand on when complaining about fouls, Kah could easily have seen straight red and Jean-Baptiste had a number of heavy tackles.
probably, but Marufo prefers physical games and lets things go both ways all the time. I thought Alonso was excellent last night
It should get revisited. That was a total chump move. I was rooting for Portland too. Kah was dirty and stupid the whole match.
Josh D
For all the hype, the game itself was pretty poor. Neither team had any control and the ball bounced around. Pulling 67K for a game means one day Seattle deserve their own stadium. Sure it makes financial sense now to keep it the way it is, but in the next five years Seattle needs to build a stadium that'll keep that atmosphere inside and allow those fans to be right close to the action.
Dempsey I thought was poor. He got himself involved in the first half, but disappeared in the second. He also needs to stop doing all his little tricks. He doesn't need to do them to justify his price tag. He needs to perform and contribute. It'll be interesting to see how he does against Costa Rica.
Mike O
He's WAY overvalued. He's on the wrong side of 30 and his production and playing time has gone down the last 2 seasons. I think if he scores 4 goals in MLS this season(and that's a stretch) people should be content. Not every player can be Landon Donovan. My biggest issue with Dempsey(other than the fact he's a flounder) is that he's always been the type of player to be hot and cold. He either has a great game or he's non-existent. He's never just there having a good game and Flounder fans will see this. Not saying they're the same person but he's like Ryan Johnson. Portland fans love him because he scores goals but he gets lazy at times and occasionally looks lost. Clint does the same thing.
Except Clint is twice the player Ryan Johnson is. You can't compare the two, because Ryan Johnson isn't even a poor mans Clint Dempsey. I'm not a Sounders, actually I dislike them, but no one can argue that those two aren't even in the same discussion in terms of talent.
Are you from Seattle? I feel like the people who say the Sounders need to move have never been there. That stadium, and it's location downtown, is one of the best things going for them. We all know how die-hard the Sounders fans are, but if you move the stadium outside of Seattle to the suburbs (cause you aint finding a piece of land inside the city for a new stadium) the attendance will plummet. There is a huge clique-i-ness / sibling rivalry between Seattle and the Eastside (Bellevue) Moving the stadium out there is a sure-fire way to make sure the the "I'm too hip for Microsoft & the Eastside" crowd stops going to games. And if they can build another stadium it's not gonna be one that can hold +50k (which you wouldn't need anyways as I'm sure regular attendance would drop) If they put the team outside the Seattle city limits it'd turn into a NY/NJ Redbulls situation. I think the Sounders should stay right where they are.
In theory, you could put a stadium northward—Shoreline or Lake City—and find the land necessary and avoid any problems of "rivalry."
Though I'm not convinced that Seattlites would really be unwilling to travel to Redmond/Bellevue just out of pride. The greater issue is that they'd be unwilling to travel out of how difficult it is to travel. The buses and rail go downtown—right next to the stadium. You aren't going to find anything like that in Bellevue, Redmond, or even Lake City. (Okay, so in 2018 or something the rail will go to Northgate, but that doesn't solve transportation problems for everyone.)
So yeah, there are 4 major reasons not to build a SSS in Seattle:
1) It would be a total waste of money. They have a stadium they can already play in and it seats 67,000. Who wants to fork over $500M+ for a stadium that would only be used 20 nights per year? (And compete with the Clink for concerts, etc. to try to make money all the other nights.)
2) Transportation to a venue not downtown will never be as good. That would definitely keep people away.
3) Downtown is a great place for the March to the Match or any other pregame activities people want to do. Anywhere else would be lame.
4) Reread the first reason. It's the only reason anyone will ever need.
I thought Dempsey was trying to force things a little to much with the ball. He seemed a little to cute on the ball a few times, hes better when playing quick one, two, three touch ball. He is going to get every defenders best shot, I think he will have to adjust to always being the focal point of opposing teams defenders.
I'm just curious, after several weeks of people being so defensive about Clint's move, I'm wondering what happens if he never scores, Seattle doesn't make the playoffs, and he just kinda plays mediocre like this for the rest of the season. Hey, I'm not sayin' he was terrible, I'm not saying he doesn't need time to adjust, but still curious, would people admit that it was a bad move?
Isnt that a bit a jump to make? Lots of players struggle coming to MLS in the summer, most do not really adjust until the following year.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
Maybe they would finally admit MLS is a pretty tough league ?
I won't hold my breathe….
build a bonfire, build a bonfire….
A tough league, sure. More competitive than playing for Tottenham? Not possible. Anyway, that is not the question I was asking.
Ps. You are both proving my point. Why can't people rationally think about this instead of automatically assuming someone is criticizing MLS? It has nothing to do with it. I love MLS and am very proud of it. People do well in certain leagues, and not so well in others. My questions is can people see through their blind patriotism and look at it objectively? So far, no.
(Good point about the summer transfer tho)
You'll just get a dozen people lashing out with cliches about always pulling through as if that means anything.
For some reason Dempsey gets a complete pass. Other DPs are expected to instantly contribute and usually do.
For him it seems to be, "oh he needs time for chemistry."
Well Dempsey has now played 236 minutes for Seattle and has only registered 3 shots on target.
Hopefully this is not taken as lashing out… merely adding to the discussion. Question, how else are we to assess a player and attempt to predict the future if not by past performance? As for most DPs instantly producing, it is simply not the case, especially arriving mid-season. Keane did well, but if my memory is correct, it took him a few games to score and frankly, he came into a team with a very good facilitator/LD and more fluid ball movement. The concept of building chemistry is hardly a new one in the game of soccer. As with anything….. time will tell.
it's true, it's true, most DPs have taken longer than expected to start producing. i guess i thought it would be easier for clint to fit in, being american and him having tons of experience in MLS.
Keane scored in his first game. Try again.
Well Shake…. I did mention him as a player who adjusted well and added a caveat, "if my memory serves me" for a reason. Do remember there being an early gap, perhaps after that first game where he didn't score, but it isn't really too important in what I was attempting to say.
Yeah…. MLS has changed/grown quite a bit since he left and…. even changing teams within the same league, it can take time to sync up. Guess the jump from Fulham to Spurs showed us that. Pretty sure he'll be just fine.
Dc, what realistically are the odds that the premise you presented will ever come true?
"what happens if he never scores, Seattle doesn't make the playoffs, and he just kinda plays mediocre like this for the rest of the season?"
Dempsey NEVER scoring is close to an impossibility. Seattle missing the playoffs, given their current form and the games in hand appears highly unlikely. Dempsey appears to be gaining fitness quickly, and looked better in this start than in his previous Sounders appearances.
However, if somehow that does all come true that is not an indication of a bad transfer decision by Deuce. It would be an indication that Deuce is nowhere near the player he once was and the Sounders would've been ripped off.
hah, all excellent points. i guess what i mean is generally not looking like the player that we remember. seattle is not my favorite team, but i do watch them, and i just haven't been impressed with him so far. is it just me or does it seem like he is trying to do way too much with the ball?
In interviews Dempsey has said a few times that he thinks coming to the Sounders will be a chance for him to play the style of soccer he fell in love with. He wants to be the technical dribbler he started out as, but was not able to be within the confines of the EPL teams he played for.
He may find that MLS isn't as easy as it was when he left, and it is more difficult to execute dribbling "tricks" than it once was.
I think there is going to be an break-in period, but that the scenario you laid out is highly unlikely. 1st of all, Seattle with games in hand is on the cusp of leading the West and clearly a better team than Vancouver, Dallas, Colorado, San Jose. Never score? Clint will adjust and find a way to score like he always does. At his point, we are playing hypotheticals. Frankly, there are never guarantees and, the question is not complete without examining and entering the alternative into the equation. What if he had stayed at Spurs and been relegated to a marginal role, saw very little of the pitch in critical situations and only scored a hand-full of goals? Of the two "what ifs", I think the latter is the more likely. Think Clint clearly was not in their long-term plans.
not the greatest game. Portland on the road isn't a fun team to 'watch imo, they muddy everything up and foul hard from behind, and their 2 centerbacks lead the charge. Different at home but hopefully not scheduled as the main Sunday evening event again when they play on the road
Dempsey trying too hard to justify his price tag seems to me, but the guy goes for it with abandon in the moments, took some lumps for it last night. I think teams will foul Clint in the middle third when they can
Rosales looking much better than he did earlier coming back from injury. changed the game
The Other Jeff
As to the hard fouls and refereeing, something seems to have gotten lost in the discussion. Kah cost them the game with that foul on EJ.
Zach Scott's comment is why everyone hates Seattle. It sucks for USMNT fans, like myself, that Dempsey, Evans, Johnson, and Yedlin play for the Sounders, because I really can't stand that franchise and its pompous fans.
…cue the rabid insults and self-righteous comments from Seattle.
Meh, any Seattle fan is well aware of how our fan base can be but it really isnt so different from other fan bases just amped up a bit.
Being a supporter for a rival west coast team I couldn't agree more!
"Zach Scott's comment is why everyone hates Seattle"
Dude your reaching, Im not from seattle nor a sounders fan, please dont try to speak for everyone with your bad comments.
Scott is speaking strictly of Portland. He's played against them for 11 years now so he can say what he feels about the rivalry as there is NO player on either side with as much experience of what a Seattle Vs Portland match is. You may not like it but it is what Portland says ever year. On a side note Portland played really well. Surprised Seattle got 3 points out of it.
A little context is probably needed – Scott was responding to Porter's pregame comment implying that Portland is a real team whereas Seattle was a collection of individuals, some of whom are stars. Petty banter – but Scott (and Sounders) get the last laugh again.
The Other Jeff
Taken out of context. If you read the question and the full quote, he was describing what he said in the locker room to his teammates.

In my last post, I wondered what sort of unexpected things might be quantized as information. My latest read has provided me with a somewhat startling answer: consciousness. Christof Koch's Consciousness: Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist (2012) suggests that consciousness can be quantized, and thus measured, as precisely as the data streaming through your internet connection. In fact, there are several points of interest in this book, which is a sort of hybrid memoir/pop-science book from the renowned neuroscientist.
First, the theory of integrated information. This theory, developed by psychiatrist/neuroscientist Giulio Tononi is based on two propositions. The first is that every conscious state is differentiated, or that every conscious state represents a massive amount of information determined not only by what is perceived in the conscious state (your computer screen, for example) but also by everything that that conscious state does not consist of (a view of the moon, the title scroll of Star Wars, a blue jay, etc.). Koch puts it this way: [a particular] "subjective experience implicitly rules out all these other things you could have seen, could have imagined, could have heard, could have smelled. This reduction in uncertainty (also known as entropy) is how the father of information theory, electrical engineer Claude Shannon, defined information. To wit: Each conscious experience is extraordinarily informative, extraordinarily differentiated" (125). Shannon's idea was that information exists only where there is uncertainty. If you were to communicate with a single binary switch that can only be one of two states, 1 or 0 (or a fair coin toss) the uncertainty or Shannon entropy is 1 bit. I'll let Wikipedia elaborate for me:
Entropy is a measure of unpredictability or information content. To get an informal, intuitive understanding of the connection between these three English terms, consider the example of a poll on some political issue. Usually, such polls happen because the outcome of the poll isn't already known. In other words, the outcome of the poll is relatively unpredictable, and actually performing the poll and learning the results gives some new information; these are just different ways of saying that the entropy of the poll results is large. Now, consider the case that the same poll is performed a second time shortly after the first poll. Since the result of the first poll is already known, the outcome of the second poll can be predicted well and the results should not contain much new information; in this case the entropy of the second poll results is small.
Now consider the example of a coin toss. When the coin is fair, that is, when the probability of heads is the same as the probability of tails, then the entropy of the coin toss is as high as it could be. This is because there is no way to predict the outcome of the coin toss ahead of time—the best we can do is predict that the coin will come up heads, and our prediction will be correct with probability 1/2. Such a coin toss has one bit of entropy since there are two possible outcomes that occur with equal probability, and learning the actual outcome contains one bit of information. Contrarily, a coin toss with a coin that has two heads and no tails has zero entropy since the coin will always come up heads, and the outcome can be predicted perfectly. Most collections of data in the real world lie somewhere in between (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory))
Keeping that in mind, the second proposition of integrated information is that conscious states are highly integrated. Conscious states are gestalt wholes, irreducible to parts that can be experienced independently. You can't make yourself start seeing in black and white, Koch says, nor can you will certain sound waves out of your auditory perception.
These two premises form the ground of the theory. Any system that is "a single, integrated entity with a large repertoire of highly differentiated states" is thus conscious, to some extent. Tononi "posits that the quantity of conscious experience generated by any physical system in a particular state is equal to the amount of integrated information generated by the system in that state above and beyond the information generated by its parts. The system must discriminate among a large repertoire of states (differentiation) and it must do so as part of a unified whole, one that can't be decomposed into a collection of causally independent parts (integration)" (126). The quantity of conscious experience is measured as Φ (phi), which is expressed in bits as "the reduction of uncertainty that occurs in a system, above and beyond the information generated independently by its parts, when that system enters a particular state" (127). So Φ expresses the amount of reduction of uncertainty in your brain/central nervous system as it enters a conscious state and can do the same for any system that exhibits the two necessary properties, integration and differentiation. Animals, artificial intelligences and computers can be measured in the same way. Koch even suggests that "the Web may already be sentient. By what signs will we recognize its consciousness? … The implications don't stop there. Even simple matter has a modicum of Φ. Protons and neutrons consist of a triad of quarks that are never observed in isolation. They constitute an infinitesimal integrated system" (132). This notion, of course, leads to the entire universe having consciousness – panpsychism – a proposition I've always found repugnant. I might be forced to reconsider. Integrated information is appealing to me in that it dethrones human consciousness from a place of privilege (a mainstay of Western religion). If successful, the theory would institute a thorough demystification, like Newton's quantization of mass, force, etc. did for Aristotelean physics.
Related to the resultant panpsychism of the consciousness as information theory that Koch endorses is his endorsement of an informational substance dualism. He asserts that "subjectivity is too radically different from anything physical for it to be an emergent phenomenon" (119). The feeling of subjectivity, doesn't just emerge from a complex network of neurons (my belief), he is saying. He instead makes a surprising claim: "I believe that consciousness is a fundamental, an elementary, property of living matter. It can't be derived from anything else; it is a simple substance, in Leibniz's words" (119). Just as positive or negative electrical charge is an intrinsic property of protons and electrons, and there are no uncharged particles waiting to be charged, consciousness is intrinsic in "all organized chunks of matter. It is immanent in the organization of the system. It is a property of complex entities and cannot be further reduced to the action of more elementary particles" (120). Thus, Koch holds what he admits is "a form of property dualism: The theory of integrated information postulates that conscious, phenomenal experience is distinct from its underlying physical carrier … The conscious sensation arises from integrated information: the causality flows from the underlying physics of the brain, but not in any easy-to-understand manner. This is because consciousness depends on the system being more than the sum of its parts" (152).
This is really a bewildering theory, to my mind. In truth, I can't wrap my head around it just yet. I'm very accustomed to thinking of consciousness as emergent property of networks, and partial in particular, to Douglas Hofstadter's 'strange loop' theory. Anyhow, it turns out philosopher of mind David Chalmers holds a similarly dualistic view to Koch, which he terms "double-aspect theory" in which information has two aspects – physical and phenomenal. I am HIGHLY uncomfortable with such ideas and cannot figure out how information is meant to be understood as immaterial. I mean, it is always embodied in some sort of matter (neurons, circuits, text on paper) and requires some sort of energy to transfer/communicate – this even proponents of such theories have to admit – but they also assert that "Information is neither matter nor energy". So what is it? It must be a pattern, but a pattern requires a medium in which it is instantiated to exist, doesn't it? When and how would there be a pattern which exists with no material instantiation? If you can help this prejudiced materialist, or recommend reading, please do.
Koch also touches on free will. His position is interesting. He first rules out strong determinism (Ligotti's puppet-nature), due to quantum indeterminacy in the basic structure of matter. But he also rules out strong free will, in the Cartesian or Christian sense, the kind that says in exactly the same situation, were it repeated, you could will yourself to act differently. This because physics rules out any action of an immaterial will that escapes material laws and somehow compels the physical brain to act. He also admits that experiments show that brain decides on actions (relatively) long before consciousness becomes aware of the decisions. Or that "the sensation of agency or authorship – is secondary to the actual cause. Agency has phenomenal content, or qualia, just as sensory forms of conscious experience do … How the decision is formed remains unconscious. Why you choose the way you do is largely opaque to you" (111). Feeling in control is just that – a feeling. And it can be manipulated by shooting electricity into certain parts of the brain. It is certain, he says, that a large part of consciousness is really just "zombie agents" or unconscious circuits that we attribute agency to only after the fact. He doesn't come out and say it explicitly – he asserts a kind of compatibilism – but it seems he's essentially admitting there's very little free will, if any. He asserts that "Yet we cannot rule out the possibility that quantum indeterminacy … leads to behavioural indeterminacy … evolution might favour circuits that exploint quantum randomness for certain acts or decisions" (101). It seems he keeps a shred of free will by optimistically assessing the linkage between quantum events and the actions of conscious systems, a connection I was under the impression is tenuous at best (though I'm no expert). Yet he also says, "Personally, I find determinism abhorrent … (Of course, my personal feelings on this matter are irrelevant to how the world is)" (101). It would behoove him then, to spend more time explaining his compatibilism, because as it stands, it seems unjustified. Particularly when taken in combination with the closing chapter of the book in which he waxes hyperoptimistic and says "My tribulations are not meaningless – I am no nihilist … I am less free than I feel I am … Yet I can't hide behind biological urges or anonymous social forces. I must act as if "I" am fully responsible, for otherwise all meaning would be leached from this word and from the notions of good and evil" (164). Again, the conspiracy, the lie… As Cioran writes in The Trouble With Being Born: "Lucidity is the only vice that makes us free – free in a desert" (12).

I am a few weeks behind in all of the news on The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones news. This series was not even on my radar until I finished reading the five available books in the young adults series a couple weeks ago. I had heard about these books, but it took one of my friends buying me the first book for me to become immersed in this world. I also did not want to know who was cast as who until I finished my version of the story in my head. This series does have the potential to take over the Twilight obsession after that whole phenom concludes. All I can say is that I loved the books, and would highly recommend picking up the first book.
That being said, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is currently filming. It is based on the first book in The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. So far there are five books, but the last book does not conclude in a way that it is the final book. The world depicted in these books revolves around Shadowhunters, a race of humans who are part angels and whose job is to defend the world from demons. Also in these books are vampires, warlocks, and fairies, each being their own race with their own rules. The main character is Clary Fray who learns after her mom is kidnapped and taken by force that she is also a Shadowhunter. Her mom shielded her from her true self for reasons that become apparent in the books. Clary becomes involved with three Shadowhunters; Jace, Alec, and Isabelle. Clary's human best friend, Simon, also becomes involved in the Shadowhunter world because of the events that surround Clary.
I could go on and on, but it can be a bit complicated. Just know that this will be a supernatural fantasy film. It does have a bit of romance in it, but it is not the sole focus.
Harald Zwart is directing the film. His previous credits are Pink Panther 2 and The Karate Kid. Consider me officially worried right now.
The official title treatment for the film is above.
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is in theatres August 23, 2013.
Lily Collins as Clary Fray – I was not too pleased with this based on her dark hair and dark eyebrows and the fact that Clary is supposed to have red hair. It looks like they have lightened her hair and put some red in it, so I am okay with her (right now).
Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace Wayland
Kevin Zegers as Alec Lightwood
Jemima West as Isabelle Lightwood
Robert Sheehan as Simon West
Lena Headey as Jocelyn Fray
Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Valentine Morgenstern
Godfrey Gao as Magnus Bane
Kevin Durand as Emil Pangborn
Aidan Turner as Luke Garroway
Jared Harris as Hodge Starkweather
Not all of the cast has been announced yet, but these are most of the main characters. Some other minor characters do have actors attached. Browse the IMDB page for those.

Can I eat ok with 2 molars and no wisdom teeth?
I have only 8 molars left (2 each side top and bottom). I have 3 wisdom teeth but they have fillings in them. At my last visit, the dentist said I had a new cavity in a wisdom tooth and recommended removing it instead of filling it. In fact, she recommended removing all 3 wisdom teeth to avoid a future problem with long roots, further decay, etc. My question is: can I eat well on 2 molars or should I keep the other 2 wisdom teeth as long as possible (since normally I would have 3 molars top and bottom)?
Doctor Answers 2
Eating with 2nd molars
In 35 years I have never seen a problem eating with 2 molars instead of 3. Yes you will be able to chew properly.
Can I eat ok with 2 molars and no wisdom teeth?
Indeed, you can eat without any problem with 2 molars in each quadrant. Wisdom teeth in a 80% of the cases gives problems to the patiens, the reasons:
- Difficult access to clean
- They dont grown at the same time
- They can push the teeth forward and create disalignement of all the other teeth.
- They usually are subject to have more cavities,
- They ave an irregular anatomy, are extremely difficult to do a root canal due to the difficult anathomy that usually haves with 3 even 4 root canals and accesory canals on each one.
- Over a 20% haves irregular growth, can grow to the buccal side insteat of having occlusion to the anthagonist.
- about a 10% of them never erupt and can create odontogenic cyst
- about the 80% of the people doesnt have space for a third molar and requires extraction.

You can do a 24 hours trial (not 24 hours of using, like I thought, but if you install now, tomorrow it's over), and see for yourself how it works and how you score. If you see that on all the tests you score 100%, it will not be necessary for you, otherwise it might be interesting.
Oh, and when you try it, don't try the odds and outs trainer, but only the pre flop trainer and the equity trainer. Those two will expire after 1 day, but the odds and outs stays available for free, so you can do that after the others expire.

It was two days since Ben had kissed Phoenix, in between that, I'd had another date with Zack and Candice and I had dealt out our revenge, now we were waiting for further command from Zoey. But today Zoey wasn't in first period, we usually had volleyball but she hadn't turned up,
"Chardonnay, have you seen Zoey?" Ms Karr asked,
"No Miss," I answered attempting to serve the ball, I was hopeless at volleyball. After first period I bumped into Candice who gave me a funny look, she opened her locker and pulled me close behind it.
"Phoenix has declared war," she whispered, "you ready to bring it?"
"Sure, but Zoey isn't here today..." I trailed off,
"She came in late, and apparently she's got some news to tell us," Candice said showing me her phone.
Candice and Char, I'm going to get in school late today and I need to talk to you!
I mashed my eyebrows, "I don't think this is about Ben anymore," I muttered,
"I know what you mean, something is up," Candice agreed,
"Eww look at that sophomore!" I exclaimed, she was wearing orange leg warmers and a bright pink mini skirt, "Someone had a wardrobe malfunction,"
"Stay on the subject!" Candice hissed, "Oh crap, we've got fire breathing bitch at ten O'clock and she's heading our way,"
"You two!" she cried, "Yeah you!" I turned round to see an angry Phoenix with a small army of ugly juniors following behind, they were holding water bombs. I gulped, I was in my Versace dress and Marc Jacobs' heels, if she dared get even a drop of water on me I would sue.
"What?!" Candice asked stepping in front of me, wow she was brave! Then I noticed she was only in her last season Chloé jumpsuit, even I wouldn't be afraid to get a little wet in something from last season - okay that was a lie, but Candice was reckless anyways.
"I've managed to assemble a small group of haters," she grinned, "Lindsey?"
"This is for calling me ginger all the way through junior high," the Lindsey girl said directly to me, she was toying with an orange balloon.
"This is for making fun of my shoes last week," said another to me again, I looked down,
"Not even my grandma would wear them," I told the girl, she glared at me and then turned to Phoenix,
"Can I throw it?!" she demanded,
"Wait," she held up her hand, "I have one more thing to say," in the distance I saw Jack turn round the corner and my heart skipped a beat, he looked directly into my eyes and assessed the situation, seconds later he was running at me. I smiled, I wasn't listening to what Phoenix had to say because Jack was going to jump in a save my butt. He came to the front and stood in the firing zone,
"What's happening?" he asked,
"They're about to destroy this $20,000 dress!" I exclaimed,
"Oh no, we couldn't have that!" Jack said patronizingly,
"Please Jack! I'll do anything!" I begged,
"What do you want me to do?" he asked,
"ATTACK!" Phoenix shouted, I screamed as a few water balloons passed inches from my face. I wasn't looking at Candice as Jack wrapped his arms around me and escorted me away from the warzone, his body acting as a shield. He pushed me into a room full of computer,
"Stay!" he commanded, shutting the door in my face. It was a good move really; no one was going to throw water near electricity, not if they wanted to graduate at any rate.
Three minutes later Candice and Jack appeared, they were drenched in water and seemed fairly happy considering what had just happened, I stepped out the classroom and watched gobsmacked as Candice rung out her hair,
"Babe!" I cried, I wasn't going to hug her, "I'll find you a towel or something!" I said,
"No it's alright, I've got a study hall next, I'll go dry off in the sun," she smiled. Jack took a step towards me,
"Touch me and you die," I said seriously, he smiled,
"Chardonnay Dubois, you are the shallowest, most materialistic, arrogant girl I know," he murmured,
"Jack!" I cried astounded,
"But," he interrupted quickly, "you are also the most special, courageous and beautiful girl I know," I looked down in embarrassment. "Char will you go on a date with me?" he asked,
"Considering you've saved my life...twice," I smiled, "I guess I owe you," Jack leant in and pecked my lips, they were soft and wet from the fight, he leant back but I hooked my arm around his neck and pulled him back in. "Thank you," I whispered in his ear before kissing him back.
"Zoey!" Candice cried, I pulled away from Jack and turned to her,
"Zo, you alright?" I asked running towards her, she had tear stained eyes and she looked utterly miserable. "What's Phoenix done?" I demanded,
"Nothing, it's not her," she hiccupped, "it's my mom, well my parents, we're moving. We're moving really far away,"
"What? Where? When?" Candice asked wrapping her arms around Zoey,
"Missouri, tomorrow." My heart sunk, my head began to spin, I took hold of Jack for support,
"You're leaving us?" I stuttered, "...And we've just declared war," I gulped; I wasn't looking forward to this semester as much as I'd have liked.
"I'll be with you every step of the way," Jack whispered, I squeezed his hand and leant against his sodden arm - suddenly I didn't care so much, I didn't care he was soaking and I was at world's end with Zoey's news. Jack suddenly became a great comfort, and I was pleased I'd given him a chance.

Washington Contentious: Economic Policies for Social Equity in Latin America
By Nancy Birdsall | Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | January 1, 2001
At the end of the 1990s the future of Latin America seemed grim in the face of four devastating problems—slow and unsteady economic growth, persistent poverty, social injustice, and personal insecurity. For 10 years Latin America had pursued—with considerable vigor—the 10 economic policies that make up the Washington Consensus, the growth formula promoted by the U.S. Treasury and the international financial institutions. But performance fell far short of expectations, and a new approach was needed.
We created a task force to identify more effective economic and social policies for Latin America. The independence of our two institutions—the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Inter-American Dialogue—allows us to raise issues that are difficult to raise in polite, official discourse: capital controls as a solution to currency crises, the need for more taxation in most of Latin America, the myth of race-blind societies in the region, corruption in labor unions. We can also talk about the mistakes of specific countries and their leaders, and we do not have to hedge our recommendations.
The task force operated under the outstanding leadership of co-chairs Nancy Birdsall of the Carnegie Endowment and Augusto de la Torre, Ecuador's former central bank governor and member of the Carnegie Economic Reform Network. After considerable debate the task force settled on a theme: now that nearly every Latin American government has voiced a commitment to the goals of poverty reduction and greater equity, what steps do they have to take to turn that commitment into action?
The final report provides a rich new agenda of economic policies directed at reducing poverty and increasing equity—without sacrificing growth. It deserves wide readership and should exert substantial influence on policy.

SWM seeks SWF
Hi _____,
I got a match with you on the site **** and I thought I would give this a shot and send you a message. I've never done this before, but I figured why not? You could turn out to be the girl of my dreams.
So, I guess I should tell you a bit about me. Not that I'm a narcissist or anything, but you know what I mean. So let's see. I'm a 27 year old male, straight (just in case you were wondering), and not completely insane, honestly. I am an aspiring musician, but I pay the bills by working for an information services company doing public relations writing as well as some copy-editing. It surprises me sometimes, but I actually enjoy the work. I would still rather be a full-time musician, but in the meantime I enjoy eating and paying rent and my job is far better than McDonald's.
My friends and family are really important to me, but I think everyone says that. I mean who wants to admit they don't get along with their family or occasionally blow off their friends? Not that either of those things is true of me.
I should also mention that I like to think I'm funny. I think my sense of humour is pretty good, and I love making people laugh, although I admit sometimes I am less than witty. But I think having a good laugh is a great thing. Why not, right?
That's enough about me for now I guess. Anything you want to know you are welcome to ask. I'm just not sure what all to say.
So what about you? I guess it would be easier if I just gave you some questions. Hopefully that is ok.
1. What's your occupation, current or intended?
2. What kinds of movies do you like, assuming you like movies?
3. What do you do for fun?
4. Do you have any pets?
5. Do you smoke? (this is kinda important, actually)
6. What is something you are looking for in a guy?
And feel free to tell me anything else about you that you think I should know.
Well, I guess that's all for now. Hopefully I don't come off as a creep or a complete weirdo or something. Or desperate. That would be bad, nobody likes a desperate man.
Hoping to hear from you,

Cameo Gallery
- "This one [cameo] is the best, most unusual one yet!"
- "I'll have an appearance in this one too, unless they shoot it on the moon."
- "To show my gratitude [after receiving the Visual Effects Society Lifetime Achievement Award], I'm now creating a whole new slate of superheroes at POW! Entertainment to make sure that you never run out of projects that you can enhance."
- "I for one am totally in your debt because the kind of stories I seem to specialize in would never have the cinema success they have if not for you. Imagine trying to show Spider-Man fantastically swinging from skyscraper to skyscraper without your incredible technical and creative know how."
- "He probably accepted this task out of gratitude, because he knows my cameo in Spider-Man is going to bring in the audience."
- " The Avengers cameo that you will see, when that movie opens up, is possibly one of my best. And you know good mine have been, but it is so funny. I can't tell you what it is 'cause they'd kill me, but it is funny. So is the Spider-Man one, by the way. They're deciding to make my cameos a little funnier. They know that's what brings the audiences in, of course, so they've gotta play them up."
- "I haven't done that cameo yet. It's almost scary 'cause they just give me a date. They'll say, "Stan, come over next Thursday for your cameo," but they don't tell me what it is. So, I show up and they say, "Go to wardrobe." In wardrobe, they say, "We want to get you a white shirt and a green sweater and a black zippered jacket," and I'll say, "Don't bother, I'm wearing one." And then, they say, "But, you can't wear yours!," and they look around and get me the exact same thing, but I'm not allowed to wear my own. And I still don't know what my role will be. I go on the set and one minute before we're gonna shoot, the director says, "Okay, Stan, this is what I want you to do. So, I don't know what is expected of me, until I get there, but of course, I do it magnificently."
- "You have never seen anything like it, neither have I. Do not miss it!"
- "No, I'm afraid [I'm] not [havin a cameo]. That's the one group I didn't create. I didn't write Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm not even sure who they all are. I can't wait to see the movie."
- "DC, of course, is trying to catch up to Marvel. More power to them. It's good if everybody does well, but they're certainly starting from a ways back. Marvel has so many heroes. DC just has Superman, Batman and maybe Wonder Woman. Perhaps they'll use The Flash. Green Lantern wasn't very successful, but we'll see."
- "I think it's one of the best things to happen! It means now SPIDER-MAN will be part of the team, in the Avengers, or however else they want to use him. Now he'll be able to appear in AVENGERS 3, or any of our other movies. It's going to be great!"
- "I wanted to do that many years ago, but at the time the people who owned Marvel were very foolish. There was a beautiful actress who wanted to play BLACK WIDOW alongside DAREDEVIL in the TV show. I forget her name, but she was gorgeous; you'd know her. I came to the person who at the time was the CEO of Marvel and I said, 'We have a chance to do this as a series.' And this idiot said, 'If it bombs, that'll hurt the character.' And I said, 'If that was the case we'd never do anything.' He didn't want to do it, but the idea of putting these characters on TV and the movies is wonderful."
- "I was offered one with Michael Douglas actually, a scene with him. But they were shooting it in England and I didn't have the time to go. So I'm not in that movie."
- "I did a cameo for the next X-Men movie. When you say I'm not allowed — will I be arrested? When you go see the next X-Men movie when it comes out, and see my fantastic cameo, you will say, 'I remember he told me about it here. It's a different cameo in that it has one additional thing in it. And if that doesn't make you go see X-Men, I'm wasting my time."
- "[I'm on] whatever side Captain America was on, because he's the best, pure-hearted person in the whole world. By the way, he's a great actor, too, the guy who plays Captain America does a beautiful job. I say that because he likes me, and anyone who likes me is a great actor."
- "I look at the covers, and I try to guess what's going on. All I know is, the girls look beautiful on the covers - I sometimes think I'm reading Playboy and I'm not objecting to that one bit!"
- "I wish I had spent more time in the strip club."
- "If it's a Marvel movie, I'm there for it. Whenever a new movie comes out, I hope they'll have a spot for me. I get such a kick out of doing it. The fans seem to like it. I'm going to tell you a secret, here's the reason the movies make so much money: My cameo. A man takes a girl to the movie, right? They're watching the movie and they bend down to get some popcorn. In so doing, they miss my cameo. Now the movie ends, and they say, 'My God, we missed Stan's cameo!' So what do they do? They run to the box office and buy two more tickets and see it again. That's why the movies do so well, because of my cameos."
- "I don't know if I should tell you the truth about that cameo. It will kill your fun. I was not in the topless dancing place. I did that in the studio and then they put it into the movie, and I'm daamn mad about that!"
- "I made them promise on the next one, I'm going to be right there."
- "I've got to be there either next week or the week after, and I'm going to do three cameos for three different movies. Now, I don't know what the movies are. I don't know what the cameos are, but I know I'll damn well be there"
- "Oh, he's wonderful! I was with him the other day. He is great! I can't believe it. It's as if we created a living being to be Spider-Man, and it turned out to be him."
- "Unfortunately, this will frustrate you a little, I have a favorite but I can't tell you what it is, because it hasn't appeared yet. I did it -- I had to go to... where did I go? Somewhere on the East Coast in Georgia. Atlanta! I don't know, somewhere. But I had to go there and do three cameos for three movies at the same time. One of the cameos I did is for the... I can't even mention the movie?! Well, let me put it this way, it's a movie that will come out soon. You're gonna all want to see it because it's one of your favorites, and -- in that movie -- I have a cameo where I'm dressed up as... I won't tell them! But you are gonna love it!"
- "If she is as good an actress as I hear she is, I think it'll be absolutely wonderful. The colour of their skin doesn't matter, their religion doesn't matter. All that matters is that this the right person for the role."
- "I was a little disappointed in the very first Fantastic Four, because I didn't care for how Doctor Doom was portrayed. But other than that, I thought the movie was great. And the actors were terrific."
- "I believe they captured the spirit and the intent of all of the characters, and I'm delighted with how they all turned out. None of them have disappointed me. In fact, I think all of these movies have come out better than everybody ever thought they would…Even the early ones were good. Maybe I'm just my own biggest fan."
- "I think it's a great idea. I wish I had thought of it. I can't wait to see that gal, I can't wait to see that movie, and I think the public will love it."

Loudon Wainwright III
If Knocked Up, the spinoff from Steve Carell's wildly successful 40 Year Old Virgin, follows the same type of script and joke template as 40, I'm willing to bet this will be one of the most popular movie scores of the year. It is doubtful the moviemakers could have picked any musician more in tune with the tragicomic oddness of modern relationships than Mr. Oddity himself, the pesky, eccentric, yet insouciant Loudon Wainwright III. Working with producer Joe Henry and guitar maestro Richard Thompson, Wainwright has written some quite touching yet telling vignettes that equal any work he's ever done. The flick stars Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy) as a sexy on-the-rise career woman who goes one drink too far with slacker Seth Rogen one night. Songs like "X and Y," "Lullaby," "Daughter" and "Final Frontier" should make a perfect backdrop as Heigl and Rogen move from one-night-stand strangers to a tenuous trial-and-error commitment. Wainwright is the master of quirky ennui, and this suite of songs should augment the comedy and curious circumstances the movie hangs on.

Well, this guy apparently got ready for the festive period in a pretty fucked up way…
He was arrested on Christmas Eve on suspicion of having sex with a goat.
Darryl Gene Scoggin, 53, from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was apparently caught in the act by police officers.
The Oklahoma City Police Department confirmed that the man was arrested following a complaint of animal cruelty.
Officers were called to a property on Chisholm Road at 10.30pm and a witness told the cops that they saw Scoggin on CCTV footage with his pants around his ankles and holding a goat down.
They went on to say that Scoggin was 'obviously having sexual intercourse with the goat'.
Police officers took Scoggin into custody after arriving at the scene and allegedly found a bottle of vodka in his jacket.
It's fair to say he was definitely on Santa's naughty list this year…

Nothing Is Permanent
So true. Sometimes in the midst of hard times, a stressful moment, or a tumultuous day, it's difficult to remember that the feelings overwhelming us are temporary. Take a breath and remind yourself of this and you can get through ANYTHING. I always remind myself that even on the most cloudy or rainy of days, the sun is shining above the clouds. You know this is true if you have ever taken off in a plane on a cloudy day because once the plane gets up to a certain level, the sun is shining again! A great reminder for all of us stressed out, overwhelmed New Yorkers!
So what gets me through of a funk? Duh! Putting on an awesome song and just dancing like a spaz. Works every time. I dare you to try it. I often say in my classes that "the burn is temporary, just like anything uncomfortable in life." Push through, remember that a moment is just a moment–however bad it may be– and good times are right around the corner:)
