Garmin DC30 GPS Dog Collar
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: GPS, Misc. Tech
Garmin has redesigned a tracker for the pooch in your life. The main housing of the unit sits below the collar while a GPS antenna is located on the top of the strap. The weight of the DC30 is a mere 8.7 oz., which means that all but the minutest of pups can wear it. Checking out the Garmin site, we notice their main target is hunting dogs, but we are hoping that more of those who are concerned with their dog's welfare will opt for the collar. The DC30 will set you back $199.99 when it arrives this fall, while their entire Astro 220 Tracking System goes for $649.95.

To the Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins Museum will this issue be laid to rest.
Despite all the evidence that anyone with an inkling of technical training can review and accept, there is still a significant section of the population that believes that Mankind's greatest technical achievement was a hoax. A hoax perpetrated by NASA's Cold War political masters in the Arizona desert solely for the sake of beating the Soviets to Moon. With this belief goes the refusal to face the fact that if the Soviets had been able to expose the secret, they would have in a heartbeat. The fact that they didn't says it all.
There are like minded groups out there - Clavius.org being the most comprehensive, along with the Mythbusters, one of the greatest programs on TV, that can and have done a much better job than I can debunking the nay-sayers conspiracy theories, but I'm still going to do my part. For a more complete list of evidence of the Apollo landings, you can see them here.
The Japanese lunar probe Kayuga imaged the Apollo 15 landing site with its Terrain Camera, a stereographic camera. Here is the original image taken from the ground:
And the reconstruction from Kayuga's Terrain camera. Note that the Terrain Camera has a resolution of 10 meters, so there will be some subtle differences.
These images come to us courtesy of the LRO, in orbit as we speak. To those of you with smaller monitors, I apologize for the size of the images, but it is necessary.

The World Bank has been supporting the growth of the green bond market not only as an issuer, but also by sharing knowledge with potential new issuers, investors, and other market participants through conferences and workshops. All of these developments led to the signing ceremony with DSCE at the World Green Economy Summit in Dubai in April 2014.
The partnership with DSCE to design a funding strategy for green investment in the Emirate represents a next step in the World Bank's involvement in the growth and diversification of the green capital markets and fits with Dubai's efforts to go green. Examples of Dubai's ambitious program in this area include the Sheikh Mohammed Solar Park, designed to generate 1000 megawatts (MW) once finalized, and a strategy to retrofit 30,000 buildings to meet the highest energy efficiency standards. In addition to the carbon reduction benefits, each project will also provide the market with useful knowledge and data that will support the development of the industry in the region.
The Bank's green bonds have established a process that allows investors to support specific climate and environmentally beneficial programs. The process has been adopted by many other issuers who have adapted it to their own circumstances, including multilateral development banks, government agencies, and corporations – mostly in the US and Europe. Working with DSCE is an opportunity for the World Bank to share its experience in this area with a member country in the MENA region and help mobilize funds for climate-smart activities.
It's interesting to reflect on how it all began. Nearly seven years ago, the World Bank Treasury was approached by a group of Scandinavian pension funds looking for a liquid, triple-A rated investment that would allow them to support climate-friendly projects. Working with a Swedish bank, SEB (Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken), and the original green bond investors, the World Bank developed the green bond concept that has been credited as the origin of the green bond market.
The idea was simple: The World Bank would issue bonds specifically tagged as 'green bonds' whose proceeds were ring fenced only for use to finance projects meeting pre-defined eligibility criteria. Through these green bonds, investors are able to purchase triple-A rated bonds with the assurance that the funds they invest will support projects that address the climate challenge. Green bonds also provide investors with transparent reporting about the specific projects being financed and the impact these will have in terms of mitigating, or adapting to, the effects of climate change.
The World Bank Group has two separate issuers that are active in the green bond market. Since its first green bond in November 2008, the World Bank (IBRD) has issued 62 green bonds in 17 currencies raising some $5.6 billion. The International Finance Corporation has issued about $3.4 billion in green bonds, including two $1 billion benchmark bonds that supported the growth of the market.
The green bond market is growing rapidly in terms of the range of participants. Over the past year or so, many new issuers have joined the market, including local governments, government agencies, banks and corporate issuers. Although supranationals pioneered the green bond market, it is increasingly attracting private sector issuers seen as essential for channeling capital market funding towards climate and environmentally sustainable projects. Investors are welcoming this diversity, which increases their options with respect to issuers, credit exposure, and types of project in which they can invest.
Momentum in the market's growth in volume is also significant. In 2013, more than $11 billion was issued in designated green bonds, and in the first few months of 2014 over $12 billion has already been issued. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Kim called for doubling the global market for green bonds to $20 billion by September 2014, and to US$50 billion by December 2015 – both dates when the United Nations will hold climate summits. With nearly $12 billion issued by the end of April, it looks like President Kim's target for 2014 may well be exceeded.
With the advisory agreement signed in at the World Green Economy Summit in Dubai in April, Dubai and the World Bank will be working together to mobilize financing for Dubai's ambitious transition towards a more environmentally sustainable economy. Dubai's entry into the green capital markets will be a milestone introducing, as it does, a new issuer, a new geographic focus in the Middle East and North Africa region, and a new type of investment. It could also demonstrate a model for green financing that has the potential to catalyze more investment for sustainable growth, which could be replicated by others in the region.
Join the Conversation
The news flow on Green Bonds just gets better and better. This article highlights a potential next gamechanger by bringing in Islamic investors . The GCC are busy examining all of the options to optimise the use of their most prized and clean natural resource-The sun.......Green projects lend themselves perfectly to being Sharia compliant and the opportunities this presents adds a diversification angle to a new and nascent market. The World Bank are playing a significant role in kickstarting the awareness programme with all GCC banks welcome to take up the baton thereafter.
This is awesome news, the market is diversifying its proposition and all aspects are beinge embraced. This will be a global asset class by end 14, bold prediction but a realistic outcome as the markert ramps up. Attracting Islamic investors opens up a new and vibrant client base with the underlying asset base an obvious candidate that meets Sharia requiremets. Upon execution this development will open up a rush of new initiatives as the GCC begins the move to optimise the use of its most natural resource The Sun.

Serial-to-Parallel Port Communication
Serial to parallel data transfer can be achieved in the following way. Figure 4 is the circuit diagram for interface between RS232 and printer parallel port. Strobe is used to synchronize data transfer between microcontroller and printer. Busy and Ack signals are used to accomplish data transfer with proper handshaking. Transmission of any one character e.g. "A" by microcontroller to PC was used to synchronize data transfer between PC and microcontroller.
Timing cycles for data transfer are:
- Microcontroller first checks the Busy line. If it is asserted low (printer not busy), it sends a character "A" to the PC.
- As soon as the PC receives this character, it writes data on the serial register and keep on polling for "A" on the receive buffer.
- Microcontroller waits for the byte to be received over serial port by polling received data ready buffer or by calling the interrupt subroutine and when the data is ready, it writes it on the data lines of port 1 followed by assertion of Strobe to low.
- Printer asserts Busy to high, reads data sends Ack, writes data and when ready to receive another byte asserts Busy to low.
- Meanwhile, microcontroller waits for Ack, removes Strobe as soon as it receives Ack and keep on polling Busy pin until it is asserted to low and then sends character "A" to the PC to indicate that it is ready to receive another byte and the cycle continues.
The program can, be further enhanced by providing a buffer of size 60-80 characters on the microcontroller.
The design can be easily enhanced to support Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) instead of SPP. EPP requires to outport data on the data register to transfer data and inport data on the data register to read data. In addition, nDataStrobe signal is to be monitored which tells a data write or read operation in progress.
Finalizing the Adapter
The final adapter will have three lines for serial port -- RxD, TxD and Ground -- and one 25-pin interface. The adapter will have both parallel-to-serial mode and serial-to-printer mode programs at different locations. A switch for 0/5V (P3.7 on the microcontroller) can be used to decide which program to run. Similarly, you can use P3.3 to set 2 baud rates. Everytime a serial interrupt occurs, the interrupt routine first checks which program caused the interrupt by checking pin P3.7 and then jumping to respective location for the different TxD and RxD routines. Final circuitry would be as shown in Figures 2 and 4.
I've presented a simple standalone parallel to serial port adapter using the 20-pin Atmel AT89C2051 microcontroller that supports bi-directional data communication between RS-232 and SPP ports which can be further enhanced to support USB and EPP/ECP ports on similar lines. The adapter supports auto baud setting and has a switch to determine which routine to run (parallel to serial OR serial to printer port communication). It can be used for numerous purposes like network adapters for interfacing various electronic devices. The adapter was successfully tested using PC and printer. C and assembly routines test the adapter in parallel-to-serial port mode that can be used to develop its device drivers.
This work is part of my B-Tech final year project done at IIT, Bombay in 1998-99. I thank all the people in SPI lab in Electrical Engineering department for their timely support whenever required.

The white, windowless proteomics laboratories located in the bowels of the Weintraub building hum with activity 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as protein-sorting machines known as mass spectrometers do their work. Churning through hundreds of samples each week, the instruments spit out crucial data for studies that range from the development of blood tests for early diagnosis of cancer to understanding how yeast cells age.
The problem, said Dr. Phil Gafken, staff scientist and manager of the Proteomics Shared Resource, is that there is a lot of data — so much, in fact, that the computers can't keep up or extract all the information that's needed for proteomics research, the field of study that involves analysis of large mixtures of proteins.
"In my facility, we have two mass specs, and if you do the numbers on how quickly the samples are processed and how long it takes for the computers to analyze the data, we can be in situations where we can collect data faster than we can get it analyzed," he said. "For example, things slow down even more for the proteomics group working on the early-detection project, because human samples take longer to be analyzed than yeast samples. It's been a real problem."
A solution arrived last year in the form of a team of software engineers — most of whom are ex-Microsoft employees — that has been aptly described by many of the researchers who now depend on them as "computational wizards." Under the direction of Dr. Martin McIntosh, the six-member group has eased the proteomics-data bottleneck and made new advances that are moving the center's research forward. What's more, the computational methods they are developing could serve as the method of choice for proteomics investigators around the world.
"The volumes and complexity of data we are dealing with — particularly for the work we are doing to develop diagnostic blood tests for cancer — are enormous," said McIntosh, an investigator in the Public Health Sciences Division and principal investigator of a National Cancer Institute-sponsored consortium dedicated to discovering proteins that will make these tests possible. "Every experiment generates enough data to fill up an iPod, but until we have approaches to access the information contained in that data, we cannot make progress."
McIntosh's team has a professional pedigree that would be the envy of any software company; some team members were even profiled in Fortune magazine when they left Microsoft to form their own company, which garnered awards from PC Magazine and other trade journals. The team members are:
- Jimmy Eng, staff scientist and team leader, is a world renowned leader in proteomics and former senior software engineer at the Institute for Systems Biology. He has developed the analytic approach that makes much of proteomics possible, including the algorithms at the core of the COMET and SEQUEST programs. Eng continues to receive 20 percent of his support from the Institute for Systems Biology, where he serves as an affiliate member of their computational group.
- Mark Igra, staff scientist, is one of two original developers of Endnote and program manager for development of Microsoft Excel and is now leading a national protein-database development effort.
- Matthew Bellew, staff scientist, was a lead developer of Microsoft Access and SQL server and is now an emerging national leader in mass spectrometry-signal processing.
- Adam Rauch, scientific software engineer, was a lead developer of Microsoft's Visual Basic and is leading development of a data-mining platform that is already being adopted by several proteomics laboratories internationally.
- Brendan MacLean, scientific software engineer, created several of Microsoft's Web-backed database platforms and is now part of an international group of quantitative scientists and software engineers developing open-source protein sequence algorithms.
- Ted Holzman, systems analyst/programmer, has years of experience developing applications for genomics analysis and is now leading the integration of many genomics approaches into proteomics.
How do creators of commercially successful office software become experts on proteomics? "Much of proteomics is a complex data-management problem, and that is something that we have a lot of experience with," Bellew said. "Although the scale of the problem is new to science, the scale of the data problems happens every day in business, and so it does not intimidate us."
That's not to say that the team members, other than Eng and Holzman, who previously developed bioinformatics-software methods, haven't had to learn some biology on the fly. They've worked closely with Gafken, Dr. Heidi Zhang, proteomics staff scientist for the early detection project, and other individual investigators in order to understand the key scientific goals of the mass-spectrometry experiments.
"Their ability to manage projects is phenomenal," Gafken said. "They can take a huge problem, slice it into understandable bits, and solve it, often giving us new ideas about what types of questions we can ask of our data; it is a huge resource for proteomics at the center."
Mass spectrometry is used to analyze complex mixtures of proteins, such as blood serum. A tube of serum contains perhaps hundreds of thousands of different kinds of proteins, which may vary in their relative abundance up to a billion-fold or more. Once a sample enters a mass spectrometer, the proteins are separated according to their size and electric charge. In order to identify proteins of interest, this sorted mixture must use complex algorithms and search against massive databases that store information about all known proteins from a particular organism. It's this step, Gafken said, where the process slows down, and new ideas are needed.
Gafken said. "With the analysis 'pipeline' that the team is creating, data analysis is much faster. New analysis tools that extract more and more information are being integrated into the system all the time."
The other significant inventions the team has made are data-viewing tools, which allow individual investigators to use the new algorithms and to manipulate their data through a Web-based interface. This step helps a scientist determine whether a sample contains a protein that might be a good candidate for developing a diagnostic test, and allows researchers from around the globe to share data and work together.
Resource development
Igra and Bellew were the first of the group recruited by McIntosh, who knew Igra socially. "I sent them a job description and asked them to recommend candidates, but I really intended to attract their interest," he said. "They took the bait." Igra and Bellew identified their former colleagues Rauch and MacLean, as other excellent candidates.
"The initial plan was for the group to translate into usable software the quantitative approaches developed by other leading proteomics-research laboratories," McIntosh said, "Instead we found they have such talent for applying complex analysis methods that those groups are now adopting our problem-solving tools (algorithms)."
For example, Bellew has in six months developed a set of algorithms for evaluating mass-spectrometry data that appears to outperform methods developed over several years at other leading research institutes.
In addition, they are working to create tools to access and compare information that is stored in databases around the world, an achievement that could save investigators hours or days searching through individual databases at each step of an experiment.
Eng followed this initial group as a key member to lead the team, bringing with him substantial experience with mass spectrometry. "Jimmy is a world leader in proteomics. With him joining the team, the group really took off," McIntosh said.
All of these resources, McIntosh said, are being developed into open-source resource that will be shared freely with other institutions. "The idea is to develop a base platform that can be used by collaborators around the world, who could then also add their own improvements," he said.
That means making sure the analysis algorithms work well, but are also as polished enough so that the laboratory researchers — not just the quantitative scientists or programmers — can use them, said Igra.
"In research science, typically when something gets to the point at which you can publish it, it's considered done," he said. "We want to create resources that are useful to many more people than just the investigators who work here, which means taking things to a higher level of completion."
Although a software engineer might use the same skills to manage data points that originate at a cancer-research institute or, say, a department store, the team members clearly appreciate the potential payoff of their work at the center — and the chance to immerse themselves in a new field.
"We spent many years building software for other programmers," Igra said. "We wanted to build something that scientists will use for a good purpose. Plus, we've got the opportunity to learn a ton."

How to Make Money With a Simple Typing Job
Data entry has become the number one searched online business on the internet today. However, most people who search for this type of work are looking for the traditional jobs which are few and far between. Nowadays, most of these jobs consist of affiliate marketing which is a high income business. These jobs simply entail ad posting in order to promote web companies and are commission based. This type of work is actually preferred above the rest because the pay is so good.
In order for one to make money online they absolutely must have experience. That's the great thing about most of these programs because they actually provide step by step training, so just about anyone can join. These amateur home typists are earning from $200-$500 on a daily basis. These are not get rich schemes, however, they are a great way to make extra money or even replace an existing job.
Through the past decade, this type of data entry has become the preferred way to make money for many.
If you really look at the big picture, you'll see why. These amateur typists are in dire need from these companies to keep bring them fresh and new prospects and sales everyday. Many people don't realize how many actual companies in the world offer these positions. If you just look at almost any website at the bottom of their page and look for the word or link "Affiliate" that is a company hiring these typists.
Another word for this type of data entry is "Affiliate marketing". Now many people get the wrong idea when they hear the word "marketing" because they automatically relate it to having to sell things or making sales calls which is not at all what this work entails. There is absolutely no type of dealing with people in that nature or doing any type of selling.
These jobs are simply about typing and posting short ads and the companies actually do the rest. They do all of the customer support, delivery and so forth. It is an ideal job for one who wants to spend a lot of time at home with their family and still be able to make a full time income.
Online data entry is ideal for housewives, single parents and students among so many others. Not only is it a great way to save on gas, but it's also an excellent way to save on child care expenses. Success in this type of business is really dependent upon the training. A good program is dire to ones outcome so you have to be selective when choosing the right program. The great thing about this is you don't have to own a or build a website. You can benefit off of other people's products and creations.
Whether you just want to make some extra income or you want to make a full time income, this is definitely the recommended route to take. Home typing jobs have gotten a bad rap in recent years and that's simply due to bad mentors and scam artists. Because these types of programs have become so popular, the scammers have taken special interest in trying to cash in on this type of business. This is why there have been so many bad reports with this particular subject. When something becomes so lucrative as these jobs, the scam artists take notice and will try to get involved somehow.
When you find a legitimate program with a sufficient training program and staff you can rest assure with time and effort you will be able to make a nice living through ad typing. It really makes all the difference in the world, so always make sure to do your research before jumping into the first website or program that comes along and you can have a wonderful career working from home.

WASHINGTON — A man accused of taking part in a vicious beating in Washington's Capitol Hill neighborhood has been acquitted in the attack by a jury but was convicted of robbing three other men later that night.
A D.C. Superior Court jury Friday found 18-year-old Sunny Kuti of Washington not guilty of aggravated assault while armed and armed robbery in the Aug. 18 beating of Thomas C. Maslin.
The jury did, however, convict Kuti of being involved in an attack on three men in Adams Morgan about an hour or so after the Maslin attack.
Kuti was one of three men accused of attacking Maslin, who was walking home from a Nationals game. Tommy Branch was previously convicted of participating in the attack and 19-year-old Michael Moore of Landover pleaded guilty.

Havelock Mayor Jimmy Sanders has always believed that being a part of the community makes the community better.
Havelock Mayor Jimmy Sanders has always believed that being a part of the community makes the community better.
In that sense, Sanders � who has served Havelock in various civic, church and volunteer efforts over the last 40 years and in city government for 29 years � has had a hand in making Havelock a pretty good community.
�A good citizen is someone who has a positive influence in the community,� Sanders said.
Sanders� eight years as mayor of the city he loves ends today when Will Lewis is officially sworn in to the city�s top post after November�s election.
Sanders, 66, the son of one of Havelock�s first town board members, returned to the city after serving in the Air Force in the 1970s. He immediately began to volunteer with the Havelock Little League.
�He put a lot of time and a lot of effort into it,� said fellow league volunteer Doug Franks. �He held several offices and he was a manager and he had real good times and he was real hard to beat.
�I think he was very patient and he did a good job with his parents and with his ball teams. He put an awful lot of time and effort into it and he did a good job in both of the leagues, Little League and Babe Ruth. He�s been totally committed to them.�
Henry Sermons worked with Sanders for Havelock Babe Ruth.
�He�s a good man,� Sermons said. �The thing about Jimmy is you know where you stand. There ain�t no twilight zone. It�s black and white. And you�ve got to respect a person like that. He�s a true friend.�
Sanders and Sermons go way back, to days when they attended the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball tournament together.
�The only real, real problem I�ve ever had with Jimmy, in the 40 or 50 years we�ve known one another, is he�s a damn diehard State fan and he hates Carolina,� Sermons joked.
Sanders has long stopped managing Babe Ruth baseball teams, but he still acts as a Babe Ruth assistant state commissioner.
�I�m a little old to be out there keeping up with 15-year-old kids, but they need me for programs,� Sanders said. �I still see people out there who played ball for me, and they are out there with their children and in some cases with their grandchildren. It�s a great feeling.�
Sermons said Sanders put Havelock first, even when it meant the two of them and brother Ray Sanders took a loan out themselves to purchase a crash truck for the fire department after the city board rejected the purchase.
�Jimmy, Ray and I said well, �we need it,� so the three of us went to the bank and borrowed the money and bought the truck and delivered it to the fire department,� Sermons said. �Everybody thought it was great, and that�s why we started having the Old Fashioned Fourth, to raise money, and we did and paid the loan off.�
For Sanders, it was typical of his passion for the city.
�What�s not to love about Havelock? It is a great place,� he said. �We�re so blessed. We�re in Eastern North Carolina, which I think is a great place to live. We�re close to the beaches, but we�re not on the beach. We have low crime. We have good schools. We have great programs for kids. We have good churches and good folks. We�re a community that accepts everybody. We are an inclusive community. If you want to come to Havelock, we�re not going to ask one question about who you were before you got here. All we really care about is who you are from this day forward.�
Richard Rice served with Sanders on the Havelock Board of Commissioners.
�From the time he has been on the rescue squad, he, his father, his brother, started it and worked hard on it,� Rice said. �He�s been very active for the city of Havelock. I don�t know how you replace him today because I don�t know anybody else that comes close to him. He�s been very interested in the city and worked hard for the city in every way that I can think of. On the board, he was very dedicated, hard-working and sincere. He and I didn�t always agree. Everything that he�s ever done has been for the good of Havelock.�
Havelock Commissioner Danny Walsh has served while Sanders has been mayor for the last eight years. But it�s not the politics that Walsh admires most. He recalls the days when Sanders and his wife Cherrie worked together on the fire and rescue department.
�He and his wife rode the ambulance every night. They put out the fires at your homes. They carried your family to the hospital or from car wrecks to the hospital,� Walsh said. � � To go to all those wrecks has got to take a toll on a person. Jimmy and his wife did that very night. The things that he did out of politics, to me, are what make the man who he is.�
Sanders served as a city commissioner or as mayor for 29 years. Even though that time is ending, he�ll still be involved with the city as president of the Allies for Cherry Point�s Tomorrow lobby group.
Still, he�ll have a little more free time and plans on some trips with Cherrie, but Havelock will always be home.
�We�re Havelock people and the bulk of our time is going to be spent in Havelock,� he said. �This is my home. This is where I live.�
He looks forward to time with his grandchildren.
�All I�m trying to do is make sure they have great memories,� he said. �When they think of their granddaddy, I want it to be nothing but fun. I have great memories of all the fun I had with my grandparents and I just want to leave those same memories with my grandkids.�
Sanders said being a part of the development of the 50-acre Havelock Recreation Complex during the 1980s was one of his greatest achievements as a city leader.
�It makes me feel good. To me, these are the things that local government should be doing,� he said. �These are the important things. These are the things that will make a difference in the community and in a kid�s life. If we don�t provide the kids something to do, the kids will find something to do and often it�s not something that we might want them to do.�
He�s learned that the most important thing as a city leader is never to give up.
�If it�s a worthy cause, then it�s worthy of your effort, no matter how long it takes,� Sanders said.
And the worthy cause he�s been thoroughly behind is protection of Cherry Point.
�Cherry Point is the goose that�s laying the golden egg,� Sanders said. �We are so blessed as a community to have a Cherry Point. Cherry Point is not just 5,000 jobs. It�s 5,000 of the best jobs in Eastern North Carolina. Cherry Point is an irreplaceable national asset. The patriotism and dedication of those employees is second to none. As a community, we have to protect Cherry Point because of its economic impact.�
Sanders said he could not have been a part of such great things in Havelock without the support he has received from the people. �I think I have served the people well,� he said. �I thank Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the center of my life, and I thank Him for allowing me to have this opportunity.�

Dynamo 1
N. England 1
B. Ching
|T. Twellman 113'
|Did You Know?
|Dynamo defender Eddie Robinson has won four MLS Cup titles ('01, '03, '06, '07), failing to appear in only one of those finals during his 2001 rookie campaign.

#47. Orange Crush (2006)
It was the perfect storm.
A championship soccer team moves to a city starving for professional soccer. It's what happened in 2006 when the Dynamo played their first season in Houston after moving from San Jose. A four-goal show by Brian Ching in the Dynamo's official debut match was followed by a full season of entertaining matches and a magic playoff run.
And the love affair blossomed with every match.
"It was the first season to have this team and we're making the playoffs and hosting games," said Jen Cooper, a fixture on the Houston soccer scene and gameday staff manager for the Dynamo. "We snuck into the Western Conference final in front of 30,000 people and boom! We have another game to host and that's another sellout. That momentum took it to a higher level. The Dallas sales reps were really excited that we made it [to the final]."
The MLS Cup championship in 2006 was held at Pizza Hut Park, home of FC Dallas and 275 miles from the Dynamo's home at Robertson Stadium. Only the New England Revolution stood between the Dynamo and a first MLS Cup title for Houston.
And there was little doubt that Dynamo faithful would make the four-hour trek for the match. But the orange invasion of Pizza Hut Park reached another scale when 'Mattress Mack' got involved.
Jim McIngvale, owner of local Houston furniture giants Gallery Furniture and dubbed 'Mattress Mack' by the locals, stepped in to help arrange the ultimate soccer caravan.
He paid for busses, a catered lunch for fans on the busses and the parking fees at Pizza Hut Park for several hundred cars. He made sure supporters had all the orange t-shirts, orange markers and crate paper they needed to decorate their vehicles before the caravan took off from the Gallery Furniture parking lot.
"I knew the fans would make a good impression," said long-time Houston soccer personality and ESPN broadcaster Glenn Davis, who called the match for local Houston radio. "But when I heard the caravan was going up, I felt they would be good for a goal in this game."
Instead of a goal, they may have been responsible for a save. The one goalkeeper Pat Onstad made on Revolution defender Jay Heaps that turned out to be the decisive play in the penalty kick shootout held in front of the largest Dynamo section in the building.
"How hard is it for Jay Heaps to walk up to that penalty kick spot knowing the cup is on the line with 2000 people yelling and screaming at him?" Dynamo defender Eddie Robinson said. "Pat made a fantastic save but you have to wonder how much of that was going through his head."
It wasn't just the yelling and screaming that made the difference in this match. According to Robinson, the mere presence of the Dynamo fan contingent motivated his team to reciprocate their support with a title.
"We did a lap with the MLS Cup trophy that normally would be something like 10 minutes and it took about an hour because so many of our fans were there," Robinson said. "They were such a big part of the season with us and it meant so much to share that moment with them. People just love the guys here and they still do. And part of the reason we've been so successful is that we feel the pressure to give back to the fans what they give us in inspiration, love and help."
The post-game celebrations proved it. Robinson remembers countless hugs, high-fives, plenty of pictures and even players jumping into the stands to join the fan party.
"They essentially took over Pizza Hut Park," Davis said. "With all due respect to FC Dallas fans, Houston fans believe Pizza Hut Park is their home."
Dynamo fans refer to Dallas as "Houston North," says Cooper, who also recalled a vivid scene as the celebrations continued late into that November evening in Frisco, Tex.
"After the game ended, the sun was going down and sky was even orange. It was so cool," she said.
It's the scene that saluted the orange mass of Dynamo fans as they departed PHP for the trip back home. And when the buses pulled up to the home base at the furniture store again, 'Mattress Mack' had changed up the neon sign of his large furniture store to read: "Houston Champions."
"That was my third MLS Cup and I could only look around the field and smile," Robinson said. "How grateful I was that the game was in Dallas. New England was due and it was bound to catch up and they were going to win one. And had that game been held anywhere else, where we didn't have that kind of fan support, it would've been a different outcome for us."
An MLS Cup host venue has seen the local team advance on just two occasions. In 1997 D.C. United defeated the Colorado Rapids at RFK Stadium and five years later the Revs failed to duplicate the feat against the LA Galaxy at Gillette Stadium in front of 61,000. The Dynamo's 2006 triumph in Dallas was as close as MLS Cup has come to a third home field.
"At my age I can look back at it and be humbled by it," the 33-year-old Robinson said. "There aren't going to be a lot of those kind of moments left in my career. It was just a really humbling moment to have all these people care most about you and your success. The happiness of their week was determined by whether the Dynamo won and it meant so much to them. Many were people we never met before, who just love us with a capital L-O-V-E."

Welcome to Travel Photo Roulette 30: Silhouettes
The last round of Travel Photo Roulette was hosted by Hart at Scene With A Hart with the theme of "Framing". An excellent theme, and we are honoured to win that round. Thank you so much, Hart! This round 30 coincides with the first anniversary of this travel photo roulette series. Jeremy at Living the Dream started this game back in November 4th, 2010. Thanks for this fun game, Jeremy!
This Week's Theme: Silhouettes
This week's theme is silhouettes. If you've been at the beach around sunset or sunrise with your camera, good chance you have some silhouette shots. But of course it's not limited to that. Silhouettes of city skylines, people, animals, tree branches against the blue sky, sunsets in the desert, silhouettes of activities or sports, anything! Silhouettes that are beautiful, or funny, or tell stories, or evoke emotions, or that are unusual to be seen in silhouette, we would love to see the variation! Here's an example. A silhouette of an old dog that was resting after swimming in the beach. He was sitting on the top of the rock pile, looking at a distance. His hair was still wet by the salty water, and you can see the funny hair shape hanging from its chin. What was he looking at? The sunset? The water? The kids he was just playing with? Or he was in a dreamy state?
Contest Rules
The rules are simple. The hosting blogger is the chosen winner of the previous week's (7 days) game. The new host chooses a generic keyword or phrase that other travelers submit photos to during the course of the week. Phrases can be as generic as 'signs' all the way to abstract thoughts like 'religion' and everything in between. At the end of the week, the hosting blogger chooses their favorite photo that fits the chosen phrase and moves it to the top of the post as the winning entry with direction to the new host's site for the next round. Readers can attempt to sway the author into picking a certain photo via comments, but the author can ignore comments as they see fit. The game is repeated with the winner hosting the following week's game and choosing a phrase for new photo submissions.
The more the merrier: Let's get more people joining the contest by sharing this article on Facebook, Twitter, and StumbleUpon (share buttons above and below).
Extra Criteria to Keep in Mind When Submitting a Photo:
- One submission per Blog (so sites that have 2+ authors only get one entry).
- In this round, light photoshopping is permitted. I want all submissions to look natural.
- Abstract submissions welcomed as long as it fits within the interpretation of the chosen phrase. Remember, the hosting blogger chooses the winner, so if they cannot understand the submission, you might not win!
- If you win, keep these in mind when choosing a new theme:
- Keep phrases general so that all bloggers can participate. Specific items like 'Eiffel Tower' should be avoided but rather made open-ended like 'monuments.' For variety, it is ok to say focused things such as 'monuments at night' in which most of us have pictures of.
- Abstract thoughts are appreciated, but keep it within the realm that all readers will understand. No 'Kafka-esque', but 'Overlooking Creation' is able to be interpreted by all.
- *NEW* After 1 year, phrases can be reused, however new photos must be submitted.
- No obscene pictures or phrases allowed. Suggestive phrases and photography can be accepted, but please keep it within reason.
- Keep the ideas and photos fresh!
- Pictures from your entire portfolio are fair to submit. You do not have to take the photo within the week of the contest period to submit it.
- Most importantly, ALL PHOTOS MUST BE YOUR OWN.
- One last rule, since this is a competition for bloggers, we need you to be a blogger to be declared a winner. Sorry!
To Submit An Image
To enter in the Photo Roulette competition simply leave a comment below with a link to the image (whether Flickr, Picasa or your own site) and I'll upload it to this post. Don-t forget to provide a brief description or caption for the photo so the viewers can get a little background as to what's happening. Check back here through the week to see all the entries as they come in – feel free to comment on them. The contest runs for 7 days from now, with the submission date being November 9-16, 2011 (Wednesday to Wednesday). I'll announce the winner within the next few days after the deadline, and he or she will host round 31. A little note: Medium size pictures is preferred (around 600 px). Large pictures might slow down downloading time for everybody.

Wales and Northern Ireland don't want Scotland to leave the UK.
The two nations, themselves fighting for secession, are worried that the departure of Scotland would lead to an English-dominated UK parliament, the Guardian reported.
Carwyn Jones, the first minister of Wales warned that wholesale changes would have to be made to the UK parliament if Scotland broke away from the union to prevent England from dominating a new United Kingdom. "You can't just take Scotland out and expect the United Kingdom to continue as before," Jones told the Guardian.
He went on to say that if Scotland did break away, the UK parliament should follow the example of the U.S. Senate to ensure equal representation for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
In a reference to the Scots who traveled across the Irish Sea during the Ulster Plantation, Peter Robinson, the first minister of Northern Ireland, made an emotional plea for Scotland to remain in the UK. "We cherish the relationship that we have. Nowhere else in the UK would the bonds be more tightly drawn between any other part of the UK from NI's [Northern Ireland's] point of view than with Scotland," he said.
While Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has not backed down on demands for a referendum and independence, he has offered to meet UK Prime Minister David Cameron to hold "constructive dialogue" to try and smooth things over, according to AFP.
Only recently, the UK government agreed to let the Scottish parliament hold a legally binding referendum.
