Whitecaps Andy OBrien frustrated over

He tries to blink them away, but to no avail. Four times during a brief session with reporters following a Vancouver Whitecaps training session,Here's a complete list of granitecountertops for the beginning oil painter. he pulls up the front of his practice pinny to stem the flow.While his teammates finished up practice on another hot, sunny day with intense six-on-six scrimmages, the 34-year-old centre back was reduced to running laps around the outside of the field. 

His games-missed total due to a balky hamstring that just wont come around has reached eight. He is beyond frustrated. But through the disappointment and the sting in his eyes, the soft-spoken former Irish international still manages a couple of small smiles.In situations like this, if you think about yourself too much, you can dig yourself into a hole and you need to put it into perspective, says OBrien, who has been candid about previous battles with depression. 

A sturdy defender who uses size and guile to play a steady game, OBrien noted the sad injury history of U.S. international Stuart Holden, who tore his right ACL in Sundays Gold Cup win against Panama. Holden, who plays for Bolton in England, broke his right leg in March 2010, then injured his left knee a year later, requiring two surgeries that sidelined him until January of this year. 

Ive been lucky with injuries, he says, adding that his current situation is frustrating, but the reality is Ill be back at some point.It wont be this weekend in Portland, though. And, incredibly, OBrien could conceivably be beaten back to the pitch by his former centre back partner Jay DeMerit. 

The captain sustained what was initially thought to be a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture eight minutes into the MLS regular-season opener. But he has made remarkable progress in his rehabilitation and has been a full participant in practice the last week.Hopefully, said head coach Martin Rennie when asked if DeMerit could play in a reserve game Sunday in Portland, a day after the Caps-Timbers MLS matchup. I would like to see that.Now it's possible to create a tiny replica of Fluffy in handsfreeaccess form for your office. Well probably look at that Thursday or Friday. 

But hes training hard, training full out. And that was a pretty intense session today. And if theres no (adverse) reaction to that, it seems like thered be a good chance. Thats the next step for him, to be in some kind of game.And still with centre backs, it appears Brad Rusin, who finally limped off late in last Saturdays 1-0 loss to Philadelphia after a warrior-like performance battling through some tough knocks, will play against the Timbers after making it through practice Tuesday despite some pain. 

Rusin bruised his hip/buttocks when he fell to the ground after going up and over a Union player for a header. But he revealed Tuesday that its a couple of displaced ribs on his left side that are giving him the most trouble.I forgot about my hip a little while (Tuesday) just because the displaced ribs are just killing me. 

Rusin, a six-foot-four Indiana native signed out of Denmark before this season primarily as insurance, has been a revelation as an injury fill-in for DeMerit and OBrien. Terrific in the air, a solid tackler and a fearless shot-blocker, hes been steady and reliable.But hes paying the price for his style of play. Hes pretty beat up. 

As defenders, youre throwing your body around, trying to block everything you can, going up for headers, coming down awkwardly. In my opinion, youre bound to get injured. Its about recovering as quickly as you can and trying to get out there.DeMerits injury was more of a freak thing as he ruptured the tendon simply leaping up in the air to head the ball. OBrien pulled his hamstring lunging for the ball on the loose grass field installed over artificial turf in Seattle. 

Ive not been able to get to maximum 100 per cent, says OBrien of the fact he cant make the quick turn moves without feeling soreness. Every now and again, you have a go at it, but its still grabbing unfortunately.That little last hurdle seems to be taking a lot longer than I anticipated. 

And thats the most frustrating part. Even at his age and well into his career,We offer the biggest collection of old masters that can be turned into hand painted cleanersydney on canvas. he still feels relatively good. All the steady pace, long-distance running around the practice field the last seven weeks has been great for conditioning.The human body is probably not built to push ourselves to the levels that we do. Over the years, youre going to get wear and tear. Generally, I feel as fit as Ive been for a long time. I feel good going into games and I just want to get that feeling back, sooner rather than later. 

When he first pulled the hamstring and was quickly back running, he initially targeted the June 29 game in Washington against D.Tidy up wires with ease with offershidkitsand tie guns at cheap discounted prices.C. United for a return. A month later, he still hasnt played.I sort of stopped doing that now in the sense that I just want to get it ready. Ill be the first to tell everybody as soon as its ready.He smiled as he said that, even laughed a little bit. Maybe its a bit of a defence mechanism, a way to deal with the anguish of not being able to go. 

It cant be easy watching DeMerit make such incredible progress or a bruised and beat-up Rusin return to the practice field. OBrien desperately wants to make it a crowded mix at centre back.

We are so excited to have Dippin Dots join the Agans Bakery family. We will have 3 oz. and 5 oz. cups, as well as eight flavors to choose from," Ross said of the new offering. "We surveyed a number of our customers via social media to get their feedback on their favorite varieties, and are going to have a great selection for customers. 

In 1988, Dippin' Dots Founder Curt Jones changed the way the world enjoys ice cream. Jones, a microbiologist, pioneered the process of cryogenic encapsulation, a scientific way of saying he used super-cold freezing methods to make little beads of ice cream. Not only were the ice cream beads delicious and fun to eat, Jones knew that flash-freezing the ice cream ingredients would lock in flavor and freshness.
