The NE Revolution beat the DC United 1-0 and moved on to the MLS Championship game next Sunday.
They scored a pretty goal; Noonan to Twellman in the 4th minute.
They did not have much offense the remainder of the game but they played excellent defense keeping the score clean to win! Way to go team!
Go Revs!

Go NE Revolution!
Yes, soccer is the world's game but it is hardly a blip on the radar around New England when compared to the Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins, and Celtics. Yet the New England Revolution have done something that these other teams have not. I think only the Celtics in late 50's/early 60's were as consistent.
The Revs are just the second team in MLS history to advance to five successive conference championship games (joining the 1998-2002 Los Angeles Galaxy) and the only team from the Eastern Conference to do so.
They play on Sunday against arch rivals, DC United. They are dead even this season with a 1-1-2 record and the same amount of goals for and against each other.
Two years ago, they also met in the finals playing 120 minutes to a 3-3 tie then DC went on to take the penalty kick shoot out 4-3.
This year could indeed be the year for the Revs to go all the way to take home the MLS trophy.
The business lessons from the Revs are just as applicable this year as when I wrote about them last year.
Go Revs!

From Karen Wallace writing at The Clearing Space Sanctuary from way down under in Brisbane comes this gem:
The more you notice the little things, the more you will notice that there are little things to notice.
Read her full posting and then explore the Clearing Space world. Follow a link or two. There is so much there.
From Anastasia writing at Totally Wired comes this:
I was reading this Associated Press story in USA Today about how the music industry is suing a mom for her teens' illegal downloading of over 1K songs. Personally I think these types of lawsuits only make the industry look like a big bully, but that's not the point of this post. The judge in the case called mom an "Internet illiterate parent" and now the recording industry is going after her two teens (one is 16, the other is now 20).
Want to read more about internet illiterate parents? Read the full posting here.
Thanks to David Rothacker for the pointer.
From Jonathan writing at Bemsha Swing comes this:
... poetry is situated within a wide range between relatively unmusical speech (I say relatively because speech is always musical) and a kind of relatively nonverbal music ("relatively" because music always seems a form of speech; it always seems to be saying something even when it is instrumental.)
This is along the lines of my "Fire Circle Story". Read all of Jonathan's post here.

Goodbye William!
A moment of silence to mark the passing of a great writer: William Styron.
Author of
The Confessions of Nat Turner (winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction)and other works...
Great quote: "A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it."

From Christine Kane
One of my mentors says that when you plant a seed, the first thing that comes up isn’t the perfectly formed sprout. The first thing that comes up is dirt. Same thing with setting intent. Same thing with shifting your thoughts to create a better reality. Same thing with new habits and patterns.
In other words, when you embark on a new path, the resistance comes up first so you can push through it and get stronger in that process.
From Roy H Williams' Monday Morning Memo for this week
If you would taste truth and beauty and grace, you must reach for the fruit of a tree planted deep in the soil of irrational commitment.
