Teenager Freddie Sears scored on his Premier League debut to give West Ham a vital 2-1 over Blackburn at Upton Park.
With just 10 minutes remaining, 18-year-old Sears saw his initial shot parried by Brad Friedel, but he stooped to head home the rebound and end West Ham's miserable run of three consecutive 4-0 defeats.
The Hammers came into the game reeling from identical maulings at the hands
Two blondes with hammers, Carol and Donna, were doing some carpenter work on a Habitat for Humanity house.Carol, who was nailing down house siding, would reach into her nail pouch, pull out a nail, and either toss it over her shoulder or nail it in.Donna, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, 'Why are you throwing those nails away?'Carol explained, 'When I pull a nail out of my pouch, about half of them have the head on the wrong end, and I throw them away.'Donna got completely upset and yelled, 'You moron! Those nails aren't defective! They're for the other side of the house!'
Chelsea and West Ham United were locked goalless at half-time in the Premiership’s all-London business at Stamford Bridge.
There were not many chances in the opening period yet the closest the Blues came to scoring was in the 9th little whenever Didier Drogba’s angular discharge from the bend of the penalty box, just curled ended the goalpost.
The Hammers grew in trust and midway through the chief half forced a move from the centre with Carlton cabbage and Boa Morte involved yet Cudicini did sufficiency to thwart the attempt.

Due to the inevitable announcement of a state of emergency on Saturday, the KSE-100 index got buggered senseless today. Opening down below 13,580 , it then recovered back to 13,780 and then got a royal fisting down to 13,257, closing down at 13,279. The Karachi Stock market’s fall of 635 points is possibly the largest in its history in terms of points. It has lost 1636 points since its intra-day high of 14,908 on October 22nd. The market has closed below its 30 and 50 DMA’s and there could be a pullback soon, perhaps after some more downside or 2moro. While the index has had its gaps filled in the 13,300-14k range, no doubt several punters have had their gaps filled as well !! Apply copious amounts of Vaseline and enjoy the ride !

Valencia's manager-in-waiting Ronald Koeman was given an indication of the size of the task awaiting him as Real Madrid hammered Los Che 5-1 at the Mestalla.Raul, Sergio Ramos and a Ruud van Nistelrooy double effectively put the game to bed by half-time, and though Miguel Angel Angulo pulled a goal back with a fine volley in the second half, Robinho, who was Valencia's tormentor-in-chief throughout, hit a fifth.Raul Albiol was sent off late on to complete a night of misery for the hosts.The result sees Real open up a five-point lead at the top of La Liga, though Barcelona travel to Real Valladolid on Thursday.
As mentioned in an earlier post, Jason Calacanis criticizes social media optimization (SMO) while working Digg at the same time.
A few days ago I noticed that he again criticized SEO/SMO in his blog:
People are coming up to ask questions and the guy keeps saying “well you have to do social work on digg and reddit, but it’s complicated and we need to talk about it.” During the panel he said “it’s complicated, we should talk about it after the panel.” I’m sure folks will come to his office and he’ll say “it’s complicated, sign this contract and we can start working on it.”
I also noticed that Mahalo is doing heavy social media optimization on Twitter.com. Here are a couple of screenshots:

I will call this Hammers, though this morning, half asleep, I had a fantasy of calling it “Clawing back to where the hand never set foot”, which makes good sense to me.
Hammers are candlesticks formed when, during a decline in price, the stock opens, heads lower during the session and then rallies at the end. What you have essentially is a small body at the upper part of the trading range and a long tail. The pattern looks like a hammer, hence the name. There are a few definitions of hammers out there. An acceptable definition can be found at stockchart’s candlestick pattern dictionary
But I’m not here to lecture on the ideal hammer formation. I want to talk about how to trade them. Like most of the strategies I employ, trading a hammer requires three important elements:
1. Prior Price Expansion
Simply put, I want the last two or three bars preceding the hammer to be big marubozu or marubozu like. The bigger the better. The reason is simply that I want sellers to exhaust themselves.
2. Current Volume Confirmation
Volume equals conviction. A hammer is equal to buyers overcoming sellers to finish the session well off the lows of the day. H

"This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment.

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Tuesday accused former President Clinton of not responding forcefully enough to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing or later terrorist attacks.
Finally, someone questions Clinton about his inaction after the World Trade Center bombings. His response was to treat the terrorist attack as a criminal act. The fact that it was not seen as a military attack on America’s sovereignty helped to lead to the September 11th attack. (more…)

So what do you reckon tonight’s line-up will be then? I suppose it depends on the formation Arsene decides to play, but I really hope we don’t go 4-5-1 with a lone Henry up front. The way he is playing at the moment I think he could be completely isolated and it might be a struggle to score that vital away goal.
In my opinion we should go 4-4-2 as I don’t think PSV can claim to be a much better side than Bolton or possibly even Blackburn. Had we reverted to a loan striker when we only had ten men up at Blackburn in the league, I can’t help thinking we wouldn’t have won – or even scored.
I fear, however, that Arsene will revert to his tried and trusty – and of course successful – Champions League 4-5-1 formation. But I could be wrong!
