What it takes to win the MLS CUP
Soccer in America is very unpredictable. The MLS, USMNT, USL, WPS, you name it. Over the past couple of years, the MLS playoff race has been filled with surprises you’d never expect in your life. That is because after the eight MLS clubs have earned their playoff berths, it completely does not matter what place you finished in the regular season. A fellow team from New York, the New York Red Bulls has earned a playoff spot in the final week of regular league play on a mere 39 points and the final team to chase the cup. Those 39 points meant absolutely nothing when it came to playoff mode. They’ve beaten league giants Houston Dynamo on a score of 4-1 on aggregate with a 3-nil win in Houston. NYRB had then moved on to the Eastern Conference Final and prove victorious over playoff newbies Real Salt Lake with a 1-0 win. The New York Red Bulls had booked their plane tickets to Carson, Calif. and left with a trophy whose conference they were not even in.
The secret in this league is consistency. If you’re successful from top to bottom, chances are you’ll be successful in the playoffs. That was the case for 2008 underdogs Columbus Crew. At the end of the 2007 campaign, the Columbus Crew were beginning to become the garbage of this league where they missed out on the playoffs on a couple of good years now, and with attendance at a low, things were looking like they had no future for this club. Not in 2008. Sigi Schmid, the coach of Crew, led them to an astonishing 6-3-1 record in their first ten games. The team eventually finished off the regular season with a whooping 57 points with a 17-7-6 record, was the first team to clinch a playoff berth, and won the supporters shield (team with most points at the end on the 30 weeks of play). As the team then cruised through the playoffs, earning victories over Kansas City and Chicago, they then faced New York Red Bulls who were on a Cinderella run over the past week or so. The Columbus Crew won the MLS CUP, by beating the New York Red Bulls on a score of 3-1. The Columbus Crew had what it takes to win the MLS CUP, consistency. Many say it was Sigi Schmid, others say it was Guillermo Barros Schelotto, but I say it was the fans. The Columbus faithful came together in 2008 after one of their stands was destroyed for the purposes of building a stage. All of the little 10-member supporter groups came together to form the Nordecke. The Nordecke was the heart and soul of this team which most likely was one of the factors in their unlikely success in 2008.
That was a little preview of 2008, and now we’re off to 2009. The 2009 campaign kicked off with a few surprises. The two big ones were the Los Angeles Galaxy series of ties, and the 2008 MLS CUP finalist’s, the NYRB series of losses. No one knew what Bruce Arena’s army was up to at the time. Their first ten games got them to a 1-1-8 record. Was it consistent? I’ll say so. This series of ties turned into a much different scenario as L.A. were climbing the ladder up the Western Conference table. They finally finished off the season one point away from clinching the supporters shield with a 12-6-12 record. The formula seemed right for them Bruce Arena (Sigi Schmid) + Angel City Brigade (Nordecke) + Beckham (Schelotto) + CONSISTENCY = MLS CUP GLORY. The Galaxy looked a lot like the Crew in 2007 last year as they were beginning to become the garbage of this league at the end of the regular season. The 2009 Cinderella Story edition club, Real Salt Lake will play the Galaxy in Seattle in the final. RSL had clinched a playoff spot on the last day of league play with 40 points. Again, those 40 points meant absolutely nothing as they went on to defeating the Columbus Crew and the Chicago Fire respectively. The New York Red Bulls had been out of the playoff chase weeks and weeks before the final 30 weeks of the regular season had ended. The team finished off their 2009 campaign with a pathetic 5-19-6 record. Last year’s MLS CUP finalists, this year’s joke. This is what I mean by soccer in America being unpredictable.
Take the WPS. Sky Blue FC made the playoff in the final week of play as the fourth and last team, and they ended up beating Marta and company to be crowned league champions. The USMNT had suddenly proved the world wrong with a 2-nothing win over Spain in a crucial semi-final, as well as giving Brazil a hell of a game in the Confederations Cup final. So is soccer in America, MLS really that unpredictable, or that just the way soccer rolls?

Dynamo Torch Light
Dynamo Torch Light
why do my light-bulbs keep blowing?
My lightbulbs seem lucky to last a fortnight – and it’s costing me a fortune! The energy saving bulbs last a little longer, although nowhere near the life-time advertised. I’ve tried cheap bulbs and expensive bulbs – no difference. The house is about 8 years old and I’ve had no other electrical problems. The bulbs blow most frequently when I switch lights on, but can also blow after being on for some time. My uncle’s house had power surges frequently, but that seemed to mess up several appliances at the same time, whereas I only get one bulb blow at a time.
I’d be grateful for any ideas – otherwise I’m thinking of getting the dogs a running machine and connecting a dynamo to it to power some torches!
Elizabeth
Gee, alot of bad answers here. It obious that the primary to secondary transformer outside is going bad. You need to contact your local utility provider asap and have them test the voltage. Not only is it blowing your bulbs but it is damaging your other appliaces as well.

Flashlight Buying Guides
Flashlight is very useful in our lives, especially when we go camping, run out of power outages, come across emergencies and encounter danger dark situations. But few of us think thoroughly when we buy such gadget, most of us just grab the appealing flashlights we see on the shelf like LED Key Holder flashlight and mini flashlight. However, finding a suitable flashlight for your family or yourself needs research and consideration.
Flashlights are varied in different types. Simply browsing flashlight category on our website, you could find Hand Pressing Eco-friendly Flashlight, Camping Light, 3 LED Hand Operated Dynamo Bright Flashlight, Multifunctional Megaphone FM radio LED Flashlight, LED Mini Solar Energy Flashlight Keychain, etc. Don’t confused by their names, flash light types generally include incandescent bulbs flashlights, LED lights, HID bulb flashlights, Xenon, Halogen and Krypton bulbs, shake flashlights, and headlamp.
Incandescent bulbs flashlights are the least expensive but they have short bulbs serving life and battery life and waste energy by producing heat. Taking advantage of light-emitting diodes, LED lights are energy-saving and durable. Bulky and expensive, HID (High Intensity Discharge) bulbs flashlights always produce bright light as their bulbs let electric current pass through an arranged ball of ionized gas. Xenon, Halogen and Krypton bulbs flashlights are the brightest flashlights, however, they have less rug-resistance and shorter life span, comparing to LED. Also called Faraday flashlights, shake flashlights usually produce less bright light than others and they are always used in emergency situation because they don’t need battery. Headlamps provide hands-free convenience, making them become the top choice for hikers and bicyclists.
Flashlight casing materials are usually aluminum or plastic. Aluminum flashlights are more expensive and heavier than the plastic because of their stronger wear and tear resistance and long-lasting serving life. Plastic flashlights are cheap and lightweight, perfect for common home use.
Batteries for flashlights can be concluded into 3 basic types, including Lithium, Alkaline, and Rechargeable. A battery that isn’t suit for your flashlights could influence the functionality and its serving life. When you buy battery for your flashlight, you’d better bring the original battery or flashlight together.
Suitable flashlight could help you a lot in your daily life while improper flashlight might be seldom used. Their prices are falling and falling, even high end types could be found at low prices in the stores of wholesale flashlights, like PickEgg. But before your purchase, double think why you buy this gadget.

Nokias Peddle Power Mobile Phone Charger!
In the world of carbon footprints and energy emissions, more people than ever and turning to alternative methods of transport to get around. While not everyone is about to swap their car for a good pair of walking shoes or a reliance on public transport just yet, there have been an increasing amount of people who have left the car at home for the journey to work and instead opted to cycle. After all, it’s cleaner, cheaper and healthier.
Now Nokia have decided to capitalise on this new trend by offering customers an energy efficient way to charge their phones – by using pedal power. As cyclists do their normal run to work or the shops, the new Bicycle Charger Kit will give their phone some totally free energy that doesn’t harm the environment at all. Nokia suggests that cycling for around 20 minutes at about 13 mph should power up an average phone for over an hour of standby time, and enough to make an average length phone call.
Obviously, numbers can be a little tricky as different phones may require more or less time cycling in order to charge up, and cyclists are likely to be travelling at varying speeds throughout the day. However, the charger functions at nearly all speeds and even has a cut off the bike starts moving too fast to avoid overloading the phone. According to Nokia, running the device at around 8 mph should be about equal to what you are get out of a mains charger, and considering that’s only about double the average walking speed you won’t have to be pushing too hard.
The design is also pretty clever – the dynamo fits onto the front of the bike while the phone itself stays out of harms way on your handlebars, letting you check out the progress of the charging or listen to music and make hands free calls – although obviously you won’t get much charging done if you start using your phone on the journey.
The product is an ideal way for people who have already gone green to go that extra step further with no additional effort on their part. It might also be worth getting if you’re going on long rides away from civilisation where it can be used as a way to charge a phone in case of an emergency. Currently, Nokia haven’t given word on a release date or pricing for this product, but we imagine if you use it regularly enough you’ll probably make back the cost on electricity charges eventually!

Dynamo Charger Circuit
Dynamo Charger Circuit
Urgent!! Explanation about circuit for my science project?
I would like to make a cell phone charger. The cell phone will be charged with the electricity produce from a dynamo. Can anybody tell me what are the electronics component needed for the circuit. My idea is to modified an MP4 player circuit how I gonna connect the dynamo to the circuit.
Can anybody show me a shcematic drawing of the circuit
When a person charges a cell phone they are charging the battery in the cell phone.
Cell phone batteries generally are a lithium ion type.
The current going to the lithium ion battery must be carefully regulated.
Charging too fast (current too high) can cause the battery to overheat, catch fire or even explode.
If the battery is in the cell phone while being charged, the cell phone itself could be damaged.
Regulating DC output from a dynamo requires zener diodes,
capacitors and a nontrival circuit design.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_diode

Eco Friendly Gadgets Get The Green Light
Global warming and climate change is big in the news at present, and calls for a more sustainable way of living are being directed at consumers at every level. It has become common practice to recycle household waste, sorting through cans, bottles, plastic and paper. Not as common, but eagerly encouraged is collecting organic waste to feed the compost bin, which in turn feeds the vegetables growing in the garden to complete a small sustainable cycle.
These are small, simple things that each of us can choose to do, but sometimes the move towards a more sustainable and eco friendly way of life is out of our control. It is time to convince the manufacturers and suppliers of everyday gadgets and gizmos that they too should be adopting a greener approach to their industry. This will give the consumer the power to choose to purchase from an ethically minded business, bolstering the correct attitude towards green consumerism.
Of course, some would say that we should be doing without certain products altogether if the thought of climate change is so worrying. The truth of the fact is it is difficult to change the attitudes of the masses by being puritanical. If the lads and lassies still want their gadgets, then let them play, but give them opportunity to buy eco friendly versions of energy hungry ‘toys’. Solar power, wind power, wind-up power and kinetic charging are all ways that everyday products we have can become Eco Friendly.
One of the more exciting products to have had a trial is the kinetic mobile phone charger developed by Orange. Through a contraption that has internal weights and pullies that is strapped to your arm, a charge is generated while you dance, walk or run. Initially tested on the grooving masses at Glastonbury, it is hoped that this technology will be a success and become available to the general public. Imagine never needing to find a plug for your charger again, and the possibilities of getting super fit because you need to make a phone call!
A favourite of festival goers, campers, and those who like to escape the confines of city life, wind-up radios and torches have been on the scene for many years now. The dynamo system was originally designed to power radios in South Africa, to enable poor communities to have access to radio even without access to batteries. This technology is also ideal for emergency situations where sources of power are not available; and for equipping places that are visited infrequently, such as holiday homes or log cabins.
When it comes to solar power, it’s shocking how long we’ve been living with the technology and probably barely noticed. The common calculator has been using the sun to charge its energy cells for years. The technology has progressed to the point where a company has manufactured a solar charger for laptop computers, compact enough to carry wherever you go just to make sure you never miss another email! Solar energy is also being used in garden trinkets, such as outdoor fairy lights and garden lanterns.
Harnessing the energy of the wind is generally considered for use on a large scale, along with tidal power. Of course, if thousands of units of energy are needed to power all the energy consumption of a house, a turbine is needed, but smaller options are available to power a gadget fetish. Compact 24 volt wind generators are available to charge a leisure battery, the energy from which can be used just like the juice that comes from a household socket. The generators are incredibly popular on boats and caravans as a reliable and transportable source of energy; and there is no reason why harnessing renewable power shouldn’t be used in the home too.
