Dr. Tim E. Lindamood's Ratings
I have had Dr. Lindamood remove skin moles a couple times now. I trust him. I really like the fact that he has a backgound or knowledge in plasctic surgery, so the results are nearly invisible. The staff is very good, caring, and attentive. I highly recommend Dr. Lindamood.

I am very disappointed in Dr. Lindamood and would not recommend him to anyone after he performed a vasectomy on my husband. I cannot speak to the quality of service or skill provided by himself or his staff (ratings entered because the form required it) because I was not included in any of the appointments or notified. And that is the source of my complaint. To be clear, there is no legal law that requires a doctor to inform or even encourage consent from the spouse of a man who is seeking a vasectomy. But the majority of doctors acknowledge that sterilization in a committed relationship affects not just the patient but also his spouse or partner and chooses to involve her as part of the process on moral grounds. Dr. Lindamood's failure to consider this moral aspect has resulted in a procedure that we cannot reasonably or simply reverse and has caused me as the spouse incredible emotional pain. I recognize that the fault is ultimately on my husband and our larger marital issues. However, if I had been informed, we might have avoided this particular terrible mistake. Dr. Lindamood should immediately change how he proceeds with sterilizing men in committed relationships to avoid another devastating outcome like ours.

95 No Start
I have a 95 F250 that is sitting at a friend's house right now. A few days ago it started buzzing every time I turned the ignition on to start it. Today I came out to start it and the batteries were deadish so I bump started it and ran it for about 20 minutes on the way over to the friend's house. I got in to start it and it started buzzing and then all the lights dimmed. I figured it was the batteries so I tested them and they had 12.84 volts (that is what they say when they are fully charged) and when it was running I tested the alternator and everything had 14.something volts while running. I had the alternator, starter, starter relay, and a battery recently replaced. The ignition switch is just about worn out (I use the key from my former Ford Ranger ignition and door to start it). I used my VOM to test each battery and the starter relay (both sides) and the starter and alternator and they all had 12.8 volts. Now when I turn the key on, the dash lights are very dim and it doesn't even want to try to start and the dome light is dim. If I wait and don't touch the ignition and open the door the dome light is bright and the headlights come on brightly, but if I try to turn the ignition on then everything goes dim. I tried to start with the little box unplugged and it didn't do any better, it just didn't buzz. I don't know what is wrong with this thing..... HELP!
Little box...???? Sounds like a bod connection at one of the batteries. Did you test each battery with it disconnected from the truck?
The little box is under the dash right above the hump in the floor for the tranny and it's white. I opened it and it had little copper windings in it. The batteries are good and I even tried jump starting it so it's not a lack of power. It's just when I turn the key on then everything acts like it's dead
Check all the battery connections. Check wires at starter solenoid on the fender. Check ground cables on block and fenders. Check the yellow wire on the side of the underhood fuse box. If that all checks out, try disconnecting the GP relay, you may have something shorted in the GP system causing a high load and dropping the voltage.
One battery was at 6.7V and the other at 12.8V, so I disconnected the strong battery and hooked jumper cables to the weak one (the one right before the starter) and charged it to 14.4V and hooked up a loose wire to the ignition cylinder and rehooked the other battery and it fired up and the buzzing noise went away.
alberta 7.3: I replaced the starter relay and the alternator and starter in January. GPR is good and I have new plugs in it. I checked all (+) connectors and they were all tight but I forgot the negatives.
Could it be the ignition wearing out? Is the ignition difficult to replace? I can use just about any Ford key to start the thing it doesn't lock out for the wrong keys.
Also the one battery was low because the driver side battery (+) positive lead was coming off, it's still a good battery (65DLG for both of them).
The ignition switch and ignition lock cylinder are two completely different items. If there was a loose wire at the lock clyinder, its for the key in door open dinger. The switch on the older trucks were known to seperate and cause either a no start, start and shut off when you let go of the key(in the start to run position) or even a fire.
If I were you I would check all connections at both batteries, starter solenoid, etc and retest. If you clean and charged one battery and it runs its obviously a battery/cable/connection issue.

Doctoral Project Topic:
Building an MFT Outpatient Practice through Contract Procurement: A Case Study
The purpose of this doctoral project is to show how grant procurement and implementation is used in order to build, expand, and maintain the efficacy of an outpatient practice. Crossroads Therapeutic Services, LLC is my private practice which was established in October of 2009. This has been a goal of mine for many years, and a primary purpose for becoming a licensed marriage and family therapist. This private practice has already established itself in providing services to specific populations, and with particular presenting problems. Also, it has obtained funding through private pay clients, insurance reimbursement, and a grant funded by a government organization. This project will continue to expand Crossroads Therapeutic Services, LLC ability to reach out to another treatment population, and expend its funding source by responding to the RFP #DHS90551 (DCFS) Sex Abuse Treatment.
Professional Interests:
The reason why I selected the DMFT degree was that it focused on program development, program evaluation, grant writing, advanced clinical skills, and administration in MFT. I use all of these areas in my current professional endeavors. It has been very rewarding to use my education to build a successful outpatient practice, assist in the development of Residential, Transitional Living, and Outpatient programs, as well as assist in developing an MFT academic program, including coursework and administration aspects.
Current Professional Position(s)/Contributions:
I am currently the owner of Crossroads Therapeutic Services, LLC, which is an outpatient mental health practice. I am also a primary therapist at New Roads Treatment Centers (where I have also been the Clinical Director and the Program Director), and I am currently the Professor of Practice at Argosy University's MFT program, at their Salt Lake City campus.
Experience in the DMFT Program:
I really enjoyed the overall DMFT focus. Some of my favorite experiences occurred within the MFT Administration class. Receiving the support to really put together and demonstrate how you would lead within an organization really prepared me for the current professional positions I find myself in.

Doctoral Project Topic:
Development of an Education Mediation Orientation for Domestic Violence Victims
The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate an Education Mediation Orientation (EMO) for female domestic violence victims who are mandated to attend family law mediation. A social constructionist and narrative theoretical conceptual framework was used and focused on three areas: (1) the process of family law mediation; (2) the effects that domestic violence may have on the mediation process; and (3) strategies that may assist the victims in overcoming these effects. The stages of the study included: (1) the development of the EMO; (2) a pilot study of the EMO with 18 female DV victims; and (3) the evaluation of the EMO by administering a one-time post orientation questionnaire. The post-orientation questionnaires were analyzed using a qualitative grounded theory research methodology.
The results examined (a) how domestic violence victims construct their experiences after participating in the EMO and (b) what feelings and meanings are attached to these experiences. The results suggest that female domestic violence victims began the orientation consumed with fear, concerned about safety, and with a lack of knowledge of the mediation process. These concerns were part of the DV victim's construction due to the perception of their historically conflictual relationship with their batterers. The results also identified two transformative psychodeducational group processes that impacted their experience of the EMO: (1) being validated and supported; and (2) an increase of knowledge. The increase of knowledge led to the domestic violence victims feeling safe, less intimidated, strong, and courageous. As a result, they demonstrated a perception of being empowered and prepared for their family law mediation process.
Professional Interests and Contributions:
I have various areas of interest; however, I am truly passionate about providing community based programs for clients in need of outpatient mental health services. I am currently the Founder and President of O'Fallon Marital & Family Counseling and Wellness Center (OMFCWC), a nonprofit organization located in O'Fallon, MO. At OMFCWC, a systems based approach is used to contribute to the quality of life of our clients by being a part of their solution.
I am also the Education Chair of the MO Chapter of American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). In this position, I act as the liaison between the Board and the local chapter of AAMFT on issues related to Education.
Personal Sayings/Professional Motto:
"Don't give up and you will succeed…and your success may look different from someone else's success…and that's ok."
Experience in the DMFT Program:
Being a non-traditional student, the program's structure allowed me the opportunity to be successful. The professors were very supportive and approachable, which allowed me to complete both my Master's and doctoral degrees in 4 years.

Dr. Gary L. Robbins
Doctoral Project Topic:
Utilization-focused Outcome Frameworks and Organizational Lifecycle Development
The project focused on the development of utilization-focused outcome frameworks, as developed by Patton (2008) for an existing psychoeducational coparenting program. These outcome frameworks were developed in the context of organizational lifecycle development. The project created a model of incorporating organizational lifecycle concepts in the analysis of existing data, and in applying organizational lifecycle concepts to summative program evaluation.
Professional Interests:
Making sense of data (what I've come to call Data Wrangling) to inform decisions and processes; increasing systemic efficiency in organizations and programs; program evaluation and outcomes; organizational development.
Current Positions and Contributions:
Personal Sayings/Professional Motto:
"This can be better."
Experience in the DMFT Program:
The DMFT program provided me with a breadth of real-world experience in program development and evaluation, grant writing, and administration, all of which prepared me very well for my job in mental health administration. The relationships I created with faculty and other students continue to be a source of growth and support as I continue to make my way along this career path. Put more simply, the real-world practicality of the DMFT was a big part of my initial attraction to the program, and I continue to reap the benefits of having gone through a very pragmatically applicable program.

Doctoral Project Topic:
Early Career Planning Project for Adolescents in Foster Care
This was a pilot project that identified adolescents between 13 and 17 years of age who were in danger of aging out of the foster care system with no economically secure employment and developed a model that provided adolescents with career choices that increased the probability of adequately providing for themselves post foster care.
Professional Interests:
Developing treatment plans for underserved, minority populations in foster care, which includes systemic-relational remedies for biological parents, as well as foster parents and the children placed with them. Addressing the impact of larger systems on the effective treatment of these populations through a systemic relational lens.
Training and mentoring trainees and interns in systemic relational thinking and practice.
Current Professional Position(s)/Contributions:
Personal Sayings/Professional Motto:
"You must know and appreciate yourself before you can adequately work for others."
Experience in the DMFT Program:
I love that the program grounded me in systemic relational thinking about delivery systems of care. I have the ability to contribute to the African American and other underserved communities in a unique way because of the focus and training I received in the program. I love that the DMFT is available and developing others who will create programs and treatments for various systems and populations.

Scavenger Hunt
Hasn't the weather been abnormally cold? It's been in the 30 degrees this past week! All I want to do is sit next to a big heater and huddle. Although dead week is here, that means more time in the cozy apartment and less time walking about= more studying. But for me at least, I get easily distracted with the internet at home, the food, the bed. So, this week, I wanted to find warm places on campus or at cafes to study. That way, there won't be any temptations. My scavenger hunt for warm places was somewhat successful: Some cold/warm spots I found so far: evans: super cold. Moffit 3rd floor and below: warm. Unit 3 study room: very warm( it's kinda underground). VLSB: warm near the front of the room. So far, those are spots I found to be warm. And of course the body heat that you receive from all the other students studying is helpful( weird but very true). Regardless, get ready for those electric bills to increase!

"The authorities will need to unravel a tangled web to find out precisely who was responsible in the complicated case of the Zotob worm," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at antivirus company Sophos. "We believe it is likely that a number of people are likely to have been involved, some with the writing and distributing of the worm, and some with the criminal use of data it attempted to steal from innocent users."
Essebar's lawyer, Mohamed Fertat, was optimistic about an acquittal, claiming that it was likely that the investigation would not find Essebar guilty. The FBI is pursuing a great number of other suspects in connection with this.

Prostate Massage in London
Prostate massage is often used for sexual stimulation and can provide a man with a very intense orgasm.
The therapist begins by sensuously massaging your body, slowly leading to the inner thighs and anal area. The therapist will then begin to massage your prostate externally. Using her index and middle fingertips, the masseuse will touch, rub, stroke, or press your perineum, the area of skin underneath the testicles.
The therapist will then use her finger to gently massage your prostate while sometimes using her other hand to stroke other parts of your body for additional arousal. This can create intense sensations, and men who receive the massage often give descriptions similar to females' accounts of g-spot stimulation.
To make a booking with one of our lovely erotic masseuses please phone.

Pankhudi Mumbai – The Intern Speaks (1)
Adams Koshy interned with Pankhudi Mumbai for one of our dream projects – Aanchal.
Through a three part series, Adams shares his experience of staying in Mumbai, interning with Pankhudi and learning about some quintessential human qualities.
My Fortnight in Mumbai
Joining Pankhudi was in all respects a chance encounter. The journey began with a conversation about a teaching opportunity in China. So why did I end up in India? Well the simple fact is that help is needed around the world, and when I saw the problems in my own country (India), I saw no need to look any further. This simple realization soon found me tapping away at a keyboard trying to find a volunteer program in India.
Out of all the ones I could have chosen, I just went with the first link I could find, iVolunteer. Well, this might not have been the most thought-out approach, but at the end of the day I guess it was the right one. Or else, I would not have been connected to Pankhudi nor would I have spent two great weeks in Mumbai.
So what did I accomplish in these two long weeks? I wrote a report! Well I know that you must think. There must be something I missed out, because I went hunting for a teaching opportunity and I ended with research? Well the long and short answer of the matter is language. I come from the southern rice bowls of India, from a little state called Kerala. Where our own language (Malayalam) has usurped the role of Hindi, leading to my unfortunate negligence. A negligence which created its own problems later on. The initial result was that to teach these wonderful children, I would need the skills of Hindi (or at least Marati). So what was I to do? This is when I was presented with three intriguing projects by Pankhudi.
The most appealing of which was Aanchal, a project dedicated to the orphaned children in India. But what are the terms used in the industry? What is the process for adoption? What are the roles of the bodies involved? What can Pankhudi do? So with what began as simply a cursor on an empty word document, I was put to answer these questions in a report that helped inform Pankhudi, and act as their first step forward with Aanchal.
In all honesty, as I took my first step out of Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport, I was nervous about what I could achieve in merely two weeks. On top of that I was going to be meeting a whole slew of new faces, in a city I had only visited as a child, where they spoke a language I had only heard on TV. The first of these faces was Aditya.

Hypothermia and standard intensive care
Detailed Description:
The study hypothesis is that: Following perinatal asphyxia treatment with a combination of hypothermia and inhaled xenon preserves cerebral metabolism and structure. Following informed parental consent, infants that continue to require endotracheal tube ventilation following resuscitation will be randomised to treatment with hypothermia only or hypothermia and xenon. All infants in both groups will be treated with hypothermia for 72 hours started within 6 hours of delivery and infants allocated to hypothermia and xenon will also receive 30% xenon (balanced with oxygen and air) for 24 hours through a purpose designed delivery system. Structured neurological examination will be done daily during the 1st week after birth and at discharge. MRS and MRI will be performed once between 4-10 days of age. MRS/MRI data analysis will be by investigators blinded to the allocated intervention.

MMO Guild Wars 2 offers players five playable races, but Human is by far the most popular. One of the game's writers is disappointed that the people of Tyria aren't branching out more.
Peter Fries, a writer for Guild Wars 2, shared an infographic that illustrated the game's racial breakdown. The graph was initially posted on a Guild Wars 2 blog and Fries explained that the human population has continued to grow at a greater rate than the others since the graph was created.
Fries believes that players who favor the Human race are missing out on some of the strongest stuff in the game. He singled out the Charr and Asura races as ones that he wished players wouldn't avoid.
Each race has a unique starting area and the character's stories and interactions with NPCs are influenced by their race.
The five races in Guild Wars 2 are Norn, Charr, Asura, Sylvari, and Human. Currently, the Humans more than double each other race's numbers.

Weird Question Weekly
Bringing you a weekly dose of the wacky, the weird and the wonderful, straight from the blog team. Got a question for us? Leave it in the comments and we'll answer it next week.
This week's question is from Lucy: If you could turn yourself a different colour, what would it be and why?
Anna: I would love to be kelly green, because it wouldn't clash with the majority of my favorite colors (almost any shade of blue or purple) and, honestly, if I were sapphire colored then I couldn't own any sapphire clothing or jewellery!
Elizabeth: I'm not sure if I should take this literally or metaphorically. As far as colors go, I think I'm purple- creative, bright, passionate, shy or angry or excited depending on the shade. But I don't think I'd want to walk around with purple skin all day. Unless everyone is walking around with rainbow colored skin, in which case, bring it! If I had to be the odd one out, I'd choose a bright green so that I could pretend I was Elphaba.
Quinn: I would probably turn myself octarine, the colour of magic in Discworld. Mostly because embodying magic, at least the colour would be so awesome!
Kara: I would turn myself that particular amazing shade of deep red-brown that really fine Earl Grey tea turns when it's steeped just right. I can't think of any more beautiful or comforting color in the world for a tea-fancier such as myself, and think of all the other amazing colors you could wear with it.
Emily: I think I would quite like to be a gossamer silver color, or perhaps a translucent warm glow. I love the idea of morphing into things like Mystique from XMen or becoming the very fabric of reality like the invisibility cloak.
So, what color would YOU turn yourself? Tell us in the comments below! Thanks to Lucy for the question this week, and please leave us one of your own for us to answer.

This Is the Long and the Short of It
Jason DeSena Trennert's "Treasurys and the Danger of Short-Term Debt" (op-ed, Sept. 10) is incorrect and fails to reflect readily available public information about U.S. debt management.
Mr. Trennert accuses the Obama administration of relying on short-term debt to keep interest expense and budget deficits low. His statement that debt maturing over the next three years exceeds 60% is incorrect. The actual figure currently stands at 55% and is declining. This is the lowest proportion that we have seen in more than 20 years.
Leaving aside his figures, Mr. Trennert's general premise is not supported by the actions taken by the Treasury Department over the past 18 months. We have explicitly pursued a strategy of reducing reliance on short-term debt. Over this period, the average maturity of the debt has extended at the fastest pace in history—from 49 months to more than 58 months today. We expect to see this extension continue. Moreover, since May, we have reduced Treasury borrowing capacity by nearly $300 billion on an annualized basis, concentrating these cuts in shorter maturities.
While the current low interest-rate environment has been beneficial to taxpayers as we have moved through this period of elevated borrowing, we have focused our management on debt structure rather than on attempting to time interest rates. By maintaining regular and predictable communication to the market, we will achieve the lowest cost of financing over time.
Demand for our securities remains extremely strong and we expect this to continue. With the economy on a sustainable growth path, we can and will begin to bring down our nation's deficits.

When searching for info on the summer collegiate Big States League, I ran across the "Big State League" web site [www.bigstateleague.com]. This appears to be a proposed revival of a former minor league by that name. The site reports that the teams will be in rural and resort markets throughout Texas with 6 teams starting in 2007 and expanding to 12 teams by 2010. I was not sure if this was another semi-pro/summer collegiate league or another attempt at an independent pro league.

Haters were rolling their eyes when news of a fifth Final Destination was announced. "Derp. How can there be anutha when it's called final. Derp-a-derp." But those eyes quickly stopped rolling in their heads when they saw footage of a girl's eye being melted. That coupled with the tremendous-looking bridge collapse sequence had everyone talking. Though it wasn't enough to get audiences to theaters, we still have to applaud the image of David Koechner coated in hot tar. That was for Snakes on a Plane, jerk!
The initial teaser for Limitless was a brilliant piece of marketing. Modeled after pharmaceutical ads, it showed Bradley Cooper enjoying the benefits of a richer existence thanks to a miracle drug that opened up the full potential of his brain. The best part of the viral ad was that it never spelled out exactly what it was promoting. For awhile I thought it was just an ad for Bradley Cooper.
"So that's how he manages to be so charming and eloquent all of the time! He's been juicing!"
Very little was known about the plot and production of Paranormal Activity 3 when this teaser came along. In fact, many suspected it to be a fan-made imposter based off the low-fi quality of the footage. But no one could deny the chills produced by the Bloody Mary sequence that closes the preview. The teaser turned out to be real and a perfect way to sell the scariest film of the year.

Tucson research finds balloons end up in national park
TUCSON, Ariz. — University of Arizona's researcher indicated that a lot of
the helium balloons released in Tucson end up in Saguaro National Park sections that flank the southern Arizona city.
Doctoral student Erin Zylstra's computer modeling found that a square kilometer in the park's Rincon unit east of Tucson had 62 shriveled latex balloons hanging
on trees, melting on rocks or just generally strewn about.
According to the Arizona Daily Star, that's more than
the 30 tortoises, 26 rattlesnakes and 29 plastic bags per square kilometer that Zylstra's research found.
Zylstra said wind patterns blow balloons into the park, where they pose
potential threats if they're eaten by animals or entangle them.
National Park Service biologist Don Swann said Zylstra's research shows how people's decisions can affect wilderness areas.

Select shots from the Fire's 2-1 win over the Crew.
Credit: USA Today Sports Images
If you've paid attention to Victor Pineda's story over the last year, you'll know that just making the U.S. U-20 roster was a challenge.
The Fire's original Homegrown player came close to making his competitive debut at the end of 2012 before a meniscus injury sidelined him through much of this year's preseason.
Ever resilient, Pineda recovered in time to join the U.S. U-20s and will hopefully take the field when Tab Ramos' side opens up the FIFA World Youth Championships Friday vs. Spain in Istanbul, Turkey (LIVE 1pm CT on ESPN2).
Yanks Abroad's Brian Sciaretta wrote this excellent piece on Pineda's road to Turkey.

Select shots from the Fire's win over the Rapids
CREDIT: Brian Kersey
The Chicago Fire's Chris Rolfe, Logan Pause and Frank Klopas took part in U.S. Soccer's Centennial celebration and World Cup qualifying viewing party Tuesday night at Chicago's Grant Park.
Check out photos from the event below:
After a rousing comeback against Portland last time out in the league, the Fire start a busy period Wednesday night against a tricky Colorado Rapids team (LIVE 7pm CT on My50) who just their six-game unbeaten streak snapped at the weekend by San Jose Earthquakes. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective:
Exposing the Rapids center backs: targeting Drew Moor and Marvell Wynne
Colorado's usual starting pair at the center of the defense is Shane O'Neill and Drew Moor but with the Irish-born youngster in Turkey with the US U-20 team, right back Marvell Wynne has slotted into the middle.
FIRE vs. RAPIDS: Tickets Still Available
Against San Jose last week, this pairing had a lot of trouble, especially when the Quakes attacking players separated and isolated the center backs.
The movement of Rolfe and Magee, both very mobile strikers, could open up the Colorado defense. If the Fire's attacking pair can draw Moor/Wynne out, it can lead to space being created behind them, something San Jose did well last weekend.
Keeping an eye on Deshorn Brown - the rookie has 4 assists this season
Similar to my thoughts a few weeks ago about D.C. rookie Kyle Porter, Deshorn Brown has caught my eye for Colorado this season.
Playing on the left of a front three he's dangerous and a good supplier of the ball for striker Edson Buddle. Much of Colorado's chances in the past few matches have come from Brown's side.
Larentowicz, Duka Preview Colorado
The Rapids will be without Atiba Harris after his red against San Jose last week which puts even more emphasis on Brown to step up in the Kittitian's absence.
Right-sided players Jalil Anibaba and Patrick Nyarko will need to be very wary of the rookie on Wednesday night.
Fire squad rotation - my case in for it
The Men in Red have a tough stretch of 4 games in 11 days and it would be very demanding on the players to try and stick with the same starting XI for all four because of a risk of burnout.
A more likely approach would be one of steady and not drastic rotation meaning making a few changes each match and not starting a completely different team. This is of course assuming the team doesn't pick up any injuries or suspensions during this stretch.
READ: Nyarko says next eight day stretch is "crunch time"
Giving a few players a break Wednesday night with one eye on the tough away Eastern Conference match against Columbus on Saturday might be a worthwhile policy for head coach Frank Klopas.
Fire squad rotation - my case against
Something fans have criticized coach Klopas for is sticking to a regular starting XI and not making too many changes from game to game.
That being said, the team is currently unbeaten in four games and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The last 20 minutes against Portland last weekend was the team's best spell all season and if they can continue that form the next few weeks could see us in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals and moving closer to the MLS Cup playoff positions in the East.
With the back line finally stable and the Mike Magee/Chris Rolfe partnership starting to really gel, there is a strong case for coach Klopas to stick with the same XI during this run of games.

It's simple really: #MakeMagee an #MLSAllStar.
Last year we here at Always on the Inside put our eggs in one basket when it came to #MLSAllStar voting by getting behind talisman winger Patrick Nyarko.
Stealing the Chicago White Sox idea of #TakeJake, (a ploy to get pitcher Jake Peavy to Major League Baseball's All-Star Game), we decided to push the #PickPat hashtag on Twitter. Along with the social calls to action, we got CSN Chicago's Dave Kaplan in on the action, with him displaying this sign on Chicago Tribune Live.
In addition, I wrote open letters to All-Star head coach Ben Olsen and MLS Commissioner Don Garber appealing for them to #PickPat.
While there was a lot of nice buzz created, in the end, Pat wasn't chosen (though I still think he should have been).
Fast-forward to today when we find out that Mike Magee is second in fan voting among MLS midfielders (even though he's a forward in Chicago) to go to this year's All-Star Game vs. AS Roma at Kansas City's Sporting Park.
Though we came up short last year, I think its time we bring the hashtags back out and #MakeMagee an #MLSAllStar for the first time in his career...
His credentials...
- A career high of eight MLS goals in 12 games played this season (currently third most in MLS and definitely most for a "midfielder").
- 10 goals in 14 competitive matches in 2013.
- As of Tuesday, he's never not scored in a match for the Fire, tallying four in as many games since joining the Men in Red last month.
- A true leader on the field and player that has come into his own over his 11-year MLS career.
- While the MLS All-Star Game is a reward for achievement during the first half of the season, we'd be remisce if we didn't mention that Mike Magee has won two MLS Cups and two Supporters Shields over the course of his 11-year MLS career.
- #MikeMageeFacts can truly go national when he's included among the league's best players.
Vote for Mike, Patrick Nyarko, Jeff Larentowicz, Sean Johnson, Austin Berry, Jalil Anibaba and Chris Rolfe by clicking here or by texting the player's last name to 22442 through July 2 at 2pm CT.
In what was widely considered one of the best results of 2012, the Chicago Fire earned a 3-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls at Toyota Park on June 17, 2012.
Patrick Nyarko got the scoring going early with a powering fourth minute header which left Red Bull defender Roy Miller on the ground in its wake.
The shortest man in the box would equalize just after halftime as Mehdi Ballouchy picked out Dax McCarthy at the back post to level things at 1-1 in the 55th minute.
The Fire should have gone back ahead nine minutes later. Making his home re-debut, Chris Rolfe slipped Dominic Oduro through the Red Bull back line and the Ghanaian hit a desperate sliding effor that Ryan Meara got a piece of but would trickle all the way over the line.
Despite the whole ball crossing the line, former Fire defender Wilman Conde slid to scoop it out of the net and referee Baldomero Toledo relied on his linesman who waved off the goal, sending Fire players into a bit of fury.
The Fire would rightfully go ahead four minutes later as Gonzalo Segares was fed into the box on the left and saw his first effort saved by Meara before emphatically slamming home the rebound, charging the home crowd up in the 68th minute.
Rolfe would ice the game 13 minutes later when a great piece of individual skill from Nyarko down the right eventually found the veteran Fire striker at the back post for a tap-in, giving the Fire a 3-1 win on Father's Day.
A smattering of the changes the Fire made in coming back from 2-0 down for the draw Saturday night [clears throat]: Chris Rolfe moved from up top to out left, Patrick Nyarko moved from out right to up top, Dilly Duka moved from the left to the right, Maicon Santos came in for Rolfe and moved up top, Nyarko moved out left, Sherjill MacDonald came on for Duka and went out left, Nyarko moved out right (completing his left-right-center trifecta), Daniel Paladini came on for Jeff Larentowitz.
And that's just the visible changes. Because what was just as apparent were the invisible changes: the change of mindset, the change of momentum, the change of attitude. Something changed in the Fire, something transformed from dejection into something like triumph - all of which you can see on Mike Magee's face after Paladini's equalizer, right about here:
"Tonight I about lost my mind, I'll admit it," Magee said after the match, referring to his spats with the ref and others that earned him the respect of every Fire fan watching (and a yellow card). "I was just yelling, showing emotion and trying to light a fire under whoever was looking."
But look also in the moments just before the game-tying freekick:
Forget the tired legs, forget the frustration of being down. Look at Jalil Anibaba, Nyarko, Alex, and Paladini all working together, throwing themselves around, eventually overcoming the Timber players on the far side and feeding Magee. Nothing represents Saturday's comeback as well as that image of Alex anticipating the ball squeezing up the line, hustling back from the Portland box, and sliding in, while at the same time Paladini, tracking the play, anticipates the result, hurries over to help Alex, saves the ball after his tackle from going out, and plays Anibaba, who plays Nyarko, who plays Magee.
The crowd goes wild.
For the third game in a row, Klopas' second half gambit worked. The game changed. It changed physically, in terms of where players were and what numbers on the scoreboard said, but it also changed intangibly, mentally, emotionally. It's becoming a pattern: most of the Fire's goals this season (6 of 11) have come late in the 82nd minute or later.
Part of that is preparation, is team togetherness, the kind of stuff coaches like to talk about. Klopas told reporters he talked over readiness with his subs: "'Listen, just be prepared to go in right from the start. Or when you get called on in the second half, your ability now to come in and influence the game, you have to be ready.'"
Or like Paladini said after the game: "It's one of those things where you have to be ready when your name's called upon – you either shy away from it or you step-up to the plate."
The good news for Paladini and the other subs is that with the team in the midst of a stretch of 11 games in 49 days, they'll definitely be getting more time to influence other games. As Logan Pause gets fit again, too, Klopas is going to have some interesting decisions to make in June.
After finally getting close to something resembling a consistent line-up, will Pause take his spot back from Alex? And what about the way the subs keep affecting games? Does Paladini deserve to start again? Can we keep expecting Klopas' late game changes to make the difference?

Oh, Belle!
In keeping with my New Year's resolution to watch as much independent film as I possibly can this year, I caught Belle in the opening week and found myself amply rewarded for my dedication. It was quite incredible. It pulled all my levers: Romance, Exquisite costume and scenery, arrestingly beautiful woman of color in the starring role, thought-provoking probe into the roots slavery. A word here about slavery films: I can't do them. I just can't. The last one I saw was Amistad, and that was years after its release. So I haven't seen 12 Years A Slave or Django, and I won't. I think the simple reason is that they make me unhappy without teaching me anything new on the subject.
It probably all started with Roots. I was about 12 when it was released in London, and it was a BIG DEAL. I mean, the kind of thing where every family I knew was crammed into the living room (back then in London it was definitely one telly per household) watching with bated breath as Kunta Kinte's story unfolded. I adored it. I'd never seen so many black actors in one place. I had no idea that some of them, such as Cicely Tyson, were icons. I just watched in amazement. But even then, slavery films led to tension. Case in point, the next day at school a friend of mine, an Anglo-Irish girl, told us that as soon as Roots was over, she headed outside to buy some sweets with a group of her friends (all white) and hang out for a bit. On the way to the sweet shop, they had to pass through a tunnel and coming in the opposite direction, was a group of black girls, likely on a similar mission. Because it was a tunnel, when they came face to face, they had to side-step so that everyone could get by. My friend accidentally elbow-bumped one of the black girls as they passed each other and the girl swung around enraged and screamed:
"Don't you dare f**king push me! I'M NOT YOUR SLAVE ANYMORE!"
Needless to say, my friend and her posse booked it out of the tunnel.
So, since the tender age of 12, I've avoided slavery films. Belle, however, isn't properly a slavery film because while it explores the topic you don't get to see anybody chained up or hear the words "Massa" or "Boy". Feel me? It fits more squarely into the genre of period drama, and I love period dramas. I can say hand on heart that I have seen every Merchant Ivory film ever made. Belle tells the story of a noblewoman in late-18th-century England of mixed English and African ancestry, the first mixed-race woman to be raised as an aristocrat. Her unique circumstances helped bring England ever closer to eventual abolition. I'm not going to outline the plot, because that would give too much away. All I will say is, if you see only one film this year, it should be this one.
Happy Tuesday!

Upland Hunting Guide Service
We offer upland bird hunting guide service October 1st through early November. Hunt for ruffed grouse, woodcock and pheasant over our trained German Shorthair Pointers or bring your own dog. Join us for a North Woods hunting adventure. Let us show you the grouse woods of northern New England!
The day afield begins at 8 am at our office where you meet your guide. From there we take to the woods. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch and return to your cabin in time to relax before dinner. Our experienced upland hunting guide, Dave Trahan, owns On Point Kennel. Selling premium quality, versatile dog training equipment, Dave also breeds and trains hunting dogs. He works dogs every day using the equipment they sell. Briar Déjà and Fanny all Deutsch Kurzhaar-German Shorthaired Pointers have completed the entire necessary test required for breeding in the German regulation. All dogs are tested in the NAVHDA test system. Together they hunt in New England and the Mid-West United States. As member of NAVHDA and NADKC North American Deutsch Kurzhaar Club they support testing and breeding regulations. Dave has been a NH guide for several years working with Lopstick Lodge to provide you a hunt of a lifetime.
