7290M Mini Bang
Product From Combined Systems Inc.

- Product From KinetX
The problem with traditional expandable batons is that they are designed to strike with the smallest end of the baton. How much success would a major league player have if they walked up to the plate and tried to hit the ball with the narrow end of the bat? In order to achieve maximal force from a baton, the user must strike with the larger end. The KinetX baton solves this problem by creating a reversible grip expandable baton that allows the user to strike with the heavy end. The baton has a grip on each end that also serves as a striking surface. The officer can hold the baton in the traditional manner when speed is required and adopt a reverse grip when maximum stopping power is required. Finally, an expandable baton that makes sense.

The BBA's Summer Jobs program is setting the pace, 38 firms have secured 55 paid internships for Boston Public High School students. Learn more here.
Continuing the Conversation: The Equal Justice Coalition's Legislative Recognition Reception. For the full post, click here.
If you are a recently admitted lawyer in MA, take a look at the BBA's Practicing with Professionalism Page to register. Don't delay, five dates are already sold out!
On May 12, 1,300 members of the bar will hear from keynote Mayor Martin Walsh and see 60 volunteers honored for their work on the BBA Marathon Assistance Project. Learn More.
Join the Boston Bar Foundation for Casino Night for Summer Jobs March 27, 2014. All money raised is dedicated to the M. Ellen Carpenter Fund, which supports the BBA Summer Jobs Program and funds paid internships for Boston Public High School students. Learn more about attending or sponsoring this event.
The M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program -- a public service partnership between the Boston Bar Association and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts -- expects to reach over one thousand students in 13 Massachusetts Public Schools in 2013. This represents more than a doubling of the students served in 2012.
"We're thrilled to have the opportunity to provide such an important life skill to this very diverse population," says BBA Public Service Manager Sonia Shah. "This will be the first time since this program began as a pilot project at the Dorchester Academy of Public Service in 2008 that we need to recruit significant numbers of volunteers to meet the demand."
The boost in demand for 2013 can be attributed to the BBA's strong, collaborative relationship with the Boston Private Industry Council, and also to a suggestion by a BBA member living in Sharon, MA that Sharon High School provide the M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy course to every senior. For a summary sheet of modules, click here.
The BBA's relationship with PIC developed over years of working together on the BBA Summer Jobs Program, which provides enrichment opportunities for diverse students in Boston's Public High Schools. Ordinarily taught between January and March, the M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program in 2008 began being offered to the Summer Jobs students well.
During the summer of 2012, BBA volunteers and U.S. Bankruptcy judges also taught this financial literacy course to PIC Summer Jobs Students working at Sovereign and Citizens Banks and to the Nelson Fellows at the Federal District Court.
"We're going to need some 100 new volunteers, and as always we'll convene a training session to make our volunteers feel confident about what they're doing," said Shah. The training session will be held at the BBA on January 14 from 4 to 6 p.m. and all curriculum material will be provided. To register for the training session, click here.
Volunteers for the M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program need not be bankruptcy lawyers. Volunteers in past years have included law firm professional staff.

old vs new
if gas prices was not so hi would you own a new or old 4x4
05-10-2012, 10:47 PM #2I like the older 4x4's since they are easier to modify, no computers. I miss my 73 Chevy, but I lost it in a divorce. If I had the money I would build another one just like it with a few changes.

While most of MLS kicks off today, we in Fire country have to wait more sleep before we watch the Men in Red take on two-time defending MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy Sunday at 4pm on UniMas.
Whet the appetite with this video where MLSsoccer.com's Dan Haiek and Matt Doyle talk one of the most intriguing matches of Opening Weekend...
It's always interesting when things come full circle in MLS… Follow me if you will…
Take a ride back to last September when the Fire acquired midfielder Wells Thompson from Colorado in exchange for a conditional MLS SuperDraft selection.
The condition stated that if Thompson appeared in four of the team's remaining regular season matches, the Fire would surrender their second round selection at the 2013 SuperDraft to the Rapids. He did and the Fire bid farewell to the pick.
Not so fast…
Wells Thompson: Trade Revolutionary?
Then consider the news out of the Denver Post today where Rapids President Tim Hinchey said Larentowicz was nearly traded to the Columbus Crew instead of the Fire.
Flash forward to the night before the MLS SuperDraft in Indianapolis when the teams did another deal, this time with the Fire acquiring central midfielder Jeff Larentowicz as well as the same second round pick they'd surrendered to the Rapids (30th overall) in exchange for their first round selection (11th overall), an international roster spot and allocation money.
Apparently the Rapids had turned down "better offers" from other teams in order to grant Larentowicz his wish of coming to Chicago rather than Columbus.
One of the main pieces at play in that potential deal was the MLS rights to midfielder Robbie Rogers, which the Fire also ended up acquiring in the trade that brought Dilly Duka to Chicago.
Not the Fire or Rapids could have predicted Rogers would retire but beyond that, you almost wonder if the other part of the potential Crew/Rapids deal could have been Duka?
But I'm getting off topic here…
Things officially came full circle today when Yazid Atouba, the player selected with the 30th pick that went back and forth between the Rapids and Fire, officially signed with the Men in Red. Slightly unheralded at the SuperDraft, Atouba gained confidence in every preseason match and dazzled Fire fans towards the end.
Certainly a pleasant surprise at #30 overall...
Take it all in and let me leave you with a few parting shots…
* Let me point out that this type of juicy "after-the-fact" trade possibility is something we just don't hear about enough in MLS.
* It says something about the culture created internally when an MLS veteran like Jeff Larentowicz chooses to come to your club.
* Kudos to the Rapids for doing well by the player.
* Who knows who the Fire would have selected with the 11th overall pick but my safe money is on the fact that Yazid Atouba wouldn't have been it.
* No offense whatsoever meant to Wells Thompson, but who'd have thought this all would have come from his slightly under the radar trade last fall?
Before settling in for the first day of MLS action on Saturday, head out to FireFest at the Illinois Youth Soccer Association's annual Expo from 9am-4pm at the Schaumburg Sports Center (1141 W. Irving Park).
Sparky will join Fire players Victor Pineda and Brendan King for an autograph signing at 11:30am while Fire staff will run through coaching demonstrations at 2:00 and 3:00pm.
The full schedule of events can be found by clicking here.
The Fire start the 2013 MLS season at the Home Depot Center on Sunday against the two-time defending champions LA Galaxy (LIVE 4pm CT on UniMas). Both teams made some major changes over the off-season and will be looking to start 2013 off on the right step. Here are a few tactical things to keep an eye on...
New central midfield pairing – how will the JL's play together?
Last season, the Fire paired Logan Pause and Pavel Pardo in central midfield. This season, two new midfielders take their places: MLS veterans Jeff Larentowicz and Joel Lindpere. Both have played together in preseason but the regular season, against the defending champions at the Home Depot Center is a different animal.
Lindpere is noted for his attacking ability but he will be required to help Larentowicz defensively, especially when the Fire turn the ball over. It will be important for both players to hold their positions and not get caught too far apart.
In an away match, it is vital to hold on to possession when you get it and it will be important for both of the JL's to link well with each other through the match.
Set pieces – how will LA deal with service from Lindpere?
One thing that really stood out during the preseason was Lindpere's ability to deliver a good ball into the box, especially from dead ball situations. Time after time, Lindpere put balls into the danger area – the space between the penalty spot and the six yard box. The Fire got some goals from set pieces last year and players like Austin Berry are a major threat from them.
Larentowicz is also good in the air, scoring a header in the Carolina Challenge Cup from a Lindpere corner. The Galaxy will be looking to avoid giving up silly free kicks around the area and will try to limit the number of corners the Fire but with Lindpere's quality, the Fire can be very dangerous in this department.
LA will be debuting the vastly experienced 'keeper Carlo Cudincini and the Fire's set pieces will question whether he and his defense are on the same page.
Dilly Duka vs Sean Franklin – youthful exuberance vs experience
Dilly Duka looks set to make his debut for the Fire on Sunday, starting on the left wing. Duka's opponent will likely be Sean Franklin, one of the best right backs in the league and a player with well over 100 MLS games under his belt.
This matchup is fascinating because just as Duka loves to get forward and take on his man, Franklin regularly pushes up to support in the attack, contributing with his fair share of assists. Duka will need to find a good balance between trying to keep Franklin pinned back by pushing forward, and helping out Gonzalo Segares when Franklin does advance to support the attack.
Duka is a very creative player and could end up giving Franklin a tough time but on the other side of the coin, if Segares and Duka are not in tandem, Franklin could hurt the Fire.
Robbie Keane – it's not just all about goals
Robbie Keane's goals dragged the Gals to their second MLS Cup victory in a row last season but his play is not all about goals. He likes to drop into the hole and link up with the Galaxy's midfielders. Keane is very good and holding onto the ball in tight spaces and playing through balls to advancing players.
At Euro 2012, Keane played a similar role for the Republic of Ireland but was often crowed out, something the Fire should look to do if and when Keane drops deeper into the hole. Keane will certainly miss Landon Donovan and Mike Magee on Sunday but even without them, he is a major threat and should prove a handful for Berry, Friedrich and co.
Prediction: 2-1 Fire with goals from Sherjill MacDonald and Arne Friedrich.

About this time last year, a young Italian goalkeeper named Paolo Tornaghi was making his final moves through a trial with the Chicago Fire.
With Fire number one Sean Johnson set to miss the first few matches of the 2012 season due to Olympic qualifying, the team had already brought in veteran MLS 'keeper Jay Nolly over the offseason to fill-in.
Surprising to some though, the Inter Milan product Tornaghi usurped Nolly as the presumed number two goalkeeper and made his Fire debut in front of nearly 60,000 fans at Montreal's Olympic Stadium.
With Johnson likely to be away for World Cup qualifying and the CONCACAF Gold Cup this year, Fire fans should feel confident in the fact that Tornaghi has returned to the side for his second season and will continue to push Sean for the number one spot.
With all that said, Drew Farmer of the Forza Italia podcast rang up Paolo last week in Charleston to discuss his upbringing with Italian giants Inter Milan, admiration of star 'keepers Walter Zenga and Francesco Toldo, his decision to join MLS and how he likes living in Chicago.
Give it a listen here and check out Forza Italia at www.forzaitalianfootball.com.
LIke hearing from Commissioner Garber in ways outside a normal conference call? Good, so do I.
We're both in luck as The Soccer Don will be doing a live address regarding the start of the MLS season this weekend on YouTube today at 5pm CT.
Watch below...
The team's match at San Jose last year was quite a memorable game. Chris Rolfe had put the team ahead with a long-distance toe-poke just before halftime and Sean Johnson literally stood his head.
So good was the Fire goalkeeper in the match that he made a career high 10 saves, many of them spectacular in the 1-1 draw against the eventual Supporters Shield winners...
10 days out from Opening Night vs. New England (TICKETS HERE), we look back on Johnson's outstanding performance last year at San Jose:
With the recent announcement of Major League Soccer's Jersey Week, a lot has been raised regarding the club's plans for future kits as well as a potential third jersey. We at Always on the Inside caught up with the club's Chief Operating Officer Atul Khosla to shed some light on future jersey plans.
Always on the Inside: MLS announced that as part of a league initiative a number of clubs would be participating in a Jersey Week celebration kicking off on Monday, Feb. 25. What does that mean for Fire supporters?
Atul Khosla: The league is moving to a yearly jersey launch cycle, where every club will roll out a new jersey each year. It will rotate, primary/home one year, secondary/away the next year. Therefore, each jersey is in market for a total of two years. This new approach allows a fresh product in market every year. Since the Fire launched both new kits last year, we are on an off cycle this year, similar to a number of other teams. As of next year, we will be back on cycle, and we will launch a new home kit.
PERUSE: Chicago Fire Jersey History
AOTI: Can you talk about the merchandise progress the club has made in the past few years and how you see it developing further?
AK: We want to see Chicago Fire jerseys everywhere in Chicagoland. We want people to represent our club by wearing our colors in the community, at games and around town. It's been a key for us to grow our merchandise and we've seen success over the past three years because of a number of factors.
First was design. We have tried to refresh the product line, bring back some original Chicago touches, and at the same time push the envelope in being edgier with our brand. As part of these strides the club has built a Fan Shop at Toyota Park, grown its online presence and built a partnership with Fanatics, Inc.. It has also been key for us to integrate merch and our products throughout our marketing efforts, on television and at the stadium. These actions have resulted in solid growth and we now have to continue to build on it.
AOTI: It's a question that is raised from time to time from some Fire supporters, what's going on with the Chicago Fire flag third kit?
AK: We hear and understand the request from some of our supporter base for a third Fire kit, especially one that from a design standpoint has strong ties to the city of Chicago. This is precisely why over the past few years we have added key Chicago elements to our uniforms. Starting in 2010 the club worked closely with adidas to have the four, six-sided stars of the Chicago flag adorn the bottom left of the white secondary/away tops.
The current secondary/away kit includes a number of elements from the Chicago flag including horizontal lines that are created by using the stripes and four stars from the civic flag representing Fort Dearborn, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 and the Century of Progress Exposition of 1933. These details were created to pay homage to the city and the club's origins. I believe it's the first time outside of a third kit that our jerseys have ever had the municipal flag woven into the design.There is tremendous and deep civic pride, and the Club will continue to build on the traditions of soccer, our supporters, our club and Chicago.
AOTI: With that said, are you saying that Fire doesn't need a third kit?
AK: No. What I am saying is that the primary reason for creating a third kit would be to engage our fans in a unique way. Also, we need to take into account the practical considerations of the true demand for this product so we can meet the minimum requirements from adidas before we place the order. Since we just released new kits last year, we wanted to focus on our new designs and pace things appropriately to avoid flooding the market.
The most successful way to create a third kit, is for us to collaborate with our supporters, get everyone energized, and create the demand. In order to initiate this movement, in the coming weeks we will be launching a social campaign asking supporters to help us design a potential third kit, vote for their favorites, and then rally each other to make a commitment by putting a deposit down.
Stay tuned to Chicago-Fire.com and our social channels. We need everyone's support to make this happen and are excited to collaborate with you and create something we can all be proud of.

British Army Service Records 1760-1915
Here you can search for your ancestors in the following sets of records:
- Militia service records 1806-1915 (WO96)
- Chelsea Pensioners British Army service records 1760-1913 (WO97)
- Royal Hospital, Chelsea: pensioners' discharge documents 1760-1887 (WO121)
- Royal Hospital, Chelsea: pensioners' discharge documents, foreign regiments 1816-1817 (WO122)
- War Office: Imperial Yeomanry, soldiers' documents, South African War 1899-1902 (WO128)
- Royal Hospital, Chelsea: documents of soldiers awarded deferred pensions 1838-1896 (WO131)
The records comprise soldiers' attestation and discharge papers and form part of the WO (War Office) series of records held at The National Archives in Kew. The War Office was the precursor of today's Ministry of Defence.
The attestation form was completed when the soldier joined the regiment and the discharge form when he left. This search covers all available papers for each soldier.
The records include soldiers from 'other ranks', rather than officer class soldiers, unlike many other military resources of this period. This means that you're much more likely to be able to find your ancestors in this collection.
What can these records tell me about my ancestors?
Each of these sets of records provides rich information about your ancestors to a level that is difficult to find elsewhere. It's common to find several pages of records per soldier – some soldiers have hundreds of pages of records!
The information listed varies, but the records tend to be very detailed and will usually include a combination of the following:
In the news
Alan Crosby writes for Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine about finding his great-uncle's service record:
- Biographical information
- Name
- Date and place of birth
- Age
- Occupation
- Name and address of next of kin
- Marriage details
- Children's names and dates of birth
- Appearance
- Height and chest size
- Complexion
- Hair and eye colour
- Distinguishing features, including tattoos and scars
- Service history
- Date of attestation
- Regiment
- Rank, including a record of any promotions
- Where stationed
- Campaigns fought in
- Medals awarded
- Date of discharge and reason for it
- Medical history
- Conduct and character observations
Find out more about each set of records below.
Militia service records (WO96)
Here you can search around 500,000 Militia service records for the period 1806-1915.
All pre-20th century men were obliged to serve in the Militia so you are likely to find information about your ancestors here. It's also possible to find details about the men's employment as they were engaged in a regular job for most of the time.
Many of our ancestors will have served in the Militia, often as a precursor to serving in the British Army, so these records provide a useful addition to our British Army service records.
Chelsea Pensioners British Army service records (WO97)
Search more than 1 million records for men pensioned out of the British Army for the period 1760-1913.
The pension records do not just relate to older men: soldiers were eligible for a pension after 12 years of service so relatively young men could be pensioned out. The connection with Chelsea Pensioners is that the pensions were administered through the Royal Hospital at Chelsea. The great majority of pensioned soldiers were out-pensioners and did not reside at the hospital itself.
Most of these soldiers were born in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales; however, a significant proportion came from other parts of the British Empire. In particular, there are a number of soldiers recorded as having been born in India and the Caribbean.
Watch our Chelsea Pensioners British Army service records mini feature – featuring our very own marketing manager Debra Chatfield who explains why these records are so valuable.
Royal Hospital, Chelsea: pensioners' discharge documents (WO121)
This collection contains 246,977 images for 84,916 men for the period 1760-1887.
This series is almost identical to some of the discharge documents in the Chelsea Pensioners British Army service records (WO97). The difference is that this series comprises bound volumes of the discharge documents, with the front page on the right hand side and the back page on the left hand side of the following image. It's possible that your ancestor's record runs over more than two pages as there are 246,977 images for 84,916 men.
We found the record on the right in this collection – click on the image for a larger version. It describes how 20-year-old Thomas Vaughan was discharged from His Majesty's Regiment of Fencible Dragoons on 10 August 1797 after serving for just 10 months. The reason for discharge was a 'scrophulous disease on the right hand by which he lost his arm'.
The Fencible Regiments were quite unusual – and short-lived – units which, for the most part, were formed in 1799 and disbanded by 1802 when the Peace of Amiens was signed. They were another response to the threat of Napoleonic invasion and information about the regiments and the personnel who served in them is not easy to find. The word 'fencible' is a derivation of 'defencible'.
Royal Hospital, Chelsea: pensioners' discharge documents, foreign regiments (WO122)
Search 13,454 images of discharge documents for 2,198 men for the period 1816-1817.
These records are similar to the Royal Hospital, Chelsea: pensioners' discharge documents (WO121) with the exception that these are foreign regiments, for example, the King's German Legion. The majority of these men were veterans of the Battle of Waterloo.
War Office: Imperial Yeomanry, soldiers' documents, South African War (WO128)
This collection contains nearly 159,000 images of documents for 26,680 men for the period 1899-1902. It is as close to complete record of other ranks from a particular unit in a specific military campaign as it is possible to get.
The Imperial Yeomanry was a volunteer cavalry unit formed in late December 1899 and was made up of men from existing yeomanry units, as well as volunteers.
The records comprise attestation papers, discharge documents and, occasionally, other papers. The attestation papers reveal that the majority of men were already serving either with a yeomanry (i.e., mounted, part-time or home-defence unit) or Militia unit but some men had no previous experience of military service. These men were generally farming stock from the middle-upper classes.
Royal Hospital, Chelsea: documents of soldiers awarded deferred pensions (WO131)
This collection comprises 42,000 images relating to the records of 6,000 men for the period 1838-1896.
These records are almost identical to the Chelsea Pensioners British Army service records (WO97) except that these are deferred pensions. These records will usually give details of the deferred pension, e.g., 48-year-old James Smith is to be paid a pension of £100 when he reaches the age of 50.
Attestation papers – official papers written for a soldier upon joining the army.
Description books – before the days of photography, the army had to have a means of recognising soldiers, not least in the case of desertion or to prevent pension fraud. Description books provided detailed physical descriptions of each soldier and details of birthplace, trade service and enlistment.
Discharge papers – official papers written for a soldier upon leaving the army.
Militia – a voluntary part-time force for home defence. The Militia Act of 1757 established Militia regiments in all counties of England and Wales. The Yeomanry (cavalry) and the Volunteers were introduced later. In 1808 a further force, the Local Militia, was formed. By 1816 the Local Militia and the Volunteers had been dissolved. The Volunteer Force was revived in 1859. In 1907, the Yeomanry and the Volunteers combined as the Territorial Force, and in 1908 the Militia was revived as the Special Reserve.
Royal Hospital, Chelsea – a retirement home for the Chelsea Pensioners and an administrative office for the British Army. It was founded in 1682 and opened in 1692 to look after wounded and disabled soldiers. The hospital catered for in-pensioners but the large majority of soldiers pensioned out of the army were out-pensioners living at their own address but receiving a pension via the Royal Hospital Chelsea.

How to search the British Army service records
We only need the first or last name of an ancestor to start searching these records for you. This is the only required piece of information – everything else is optional.
It's always best to start searching with basic information, like your ancestor's first and last name. If there are too many results, you can refine your search and add more detail.
You can click the 'refine search' button on the search results page to return to this search box and add more information.
If you know the record series you want to search
The British Army service records are made up of a number of different record collections, held by The National Archives.
It's best to start by searching all of these records, but if you're sure that your ancestor is listed in a particular record series you could use this to narrow down your search results.
Choose a record series from the list in the box shown below. Findmypast.co.uk will then only show you records from this collection.
If you know the regiment your ancestor served in
If a basic search returns too many results, you could try adding your ancestor's regiment.
Select the 'advanced' tab at the top of the search form, as shown in the image below. Choose a regiment from the list in the relevant box and findmypast.co.uk will then only show you results that match your selection.
When you use our advanced search, it's possible to search with just a regiment – you could enter this instead of your ancestor's first or last name.
An important point to note is that this search option relates to either the regiment the soldier originally joined or the one he was discharged from, depending on the record series.
A soldier's regiment may well have changed through the duration of his service – bear in mind that the regiment you think your ancestor served in may not have been the one he joined or was discharged from. You could actually exclude relevant results by selecting a regiment, so always try searching with basic information first.
If you know your ancestor's soldier number
If a basic search returns too many results, you could try adding your ancestor's soldier number.
Select the 'advanced' tab at the top of the search form and enter the soldier number in the relevant box. Findmypast.co.uk will then only show you results that match this number.
When you use our advanced search, it's possible to search with just a soldier number – you could enter this instead of your ancestor's first or last name.
Understanding your search results
You'll notice that your results list a 'record source', as shown in the image below.
This is because the British Army service records are made up of a number of different record collections, held by The National Archives. The record source refers to how the records are categorised at The National Archives.
You may also notice that some results don't have information listed in all of the fields.
This is because the British Army service records are not in a standard format. It is, therefore, much harder to capture information from them than from other more structured records.
A field will be left blank if the information was not in the place we expected it to be. A blank field doesn't necessarily mean that the information was not recorded, just that it wasn't easy for us to find.
If you view an image and find the missing information, you can tell us by using the 'report transcript change' link at the top of the image viewer.
Can't find who you're looking for?
- The British Army service records generally don't include records of soldiers who died in service. You could try searching our armed forces death records instead.
- Try leaving some search boxes empty. Your ancestor's date of birth, place of birth, soldier number or regiment may not be listed as you would expect, so the details you enter could exclude relevant results.
- Keep the 'include variants' boxes underneath the name fields ticked. This means your search results will include spelling variations of the names you've entered.
- If your ancestor's name could be easily misspelled, try using a wildcard search. Just use a * symbol in place of a letter or multiple letters. For example, instead of searching for Jennings you could search for Je*ngs or *enning*.

Liverpool Message Board
Looks like you've inherited a live one here, in that Eddy. #$%$ is he???
Treat him like a mushroom. Keep him in the dark, and feed him sh...t -
Now who would have thought that this situation would come to pass, barely a year ago, when we, City, and Chelsea, were playing like donkeys, and Utd. were being handed the PL Championship??
Just goes to show that gloating doesn't pay in the end. In fact it can come back and bite you in the #$%$ quick smart. As our faithful Manure Trolls have now found to their cost
. Which reminds me. #$%$ are they. Wasn't something someone said that touched a nerve, was it?
Long may it last. But I doubt it boys.........Meanwhile there's a brass monkey outside the Well Hung, looking for a welder....... -
....take a dump between post? Its become a kind of industry for Rikkets, thinking up and designing new avatars and names. Especially after the Grainger boys reported back that he squealed like a baby protesting his innocence, when confronted with a Ham knuckle fist, and presented with the evidence of his abuse of their mother and father...'Old Yellah' then gave the game away by claiming he was drunk. The boys said he wasn't worth the effort, so they both slapped him silly and left him grovelling and pleading that he was never a Manure fan. Talk about a slap head
Does Moyes truly think that Mata will matter, in a side that is so disjointed and fathomless, at the moment? This looks like being another disaster of epic proportions if he(Mata) doesn't fit, and to be honest I don't think he will. That Rooney & Persie will be obsolete, and Mata on his own, doesn't make sense........Wenger knows this and Moureen says he's moaning. But then again, he would wouldn't he. The nutter.
"Kallstrom seem like a nice guy and nice guys don't finish 1st" ???
What a rat a.. #$%$ thing to say Vindaloo. You know absolutely nothing about football, (accept what you read) or this player. Also, it's 'inept' dummy. Just like your posts here. And Giroud more than makes up for spending millions on an unproved kid. Wenger has been at it a long time and hasn't done too badly, the last time I looked. -
Don't worry about Wed. night. Arsenal are odds on to win this comfortably. The L'pool result was another freak in Arsenals long history of freak result (have L'pool ever forgiven us for the 'Thomas Goal' that robbed them of the Title??) After the first 5 or 10 minutes, the game was lost with a lucky knee deflection and gifted a free header from Skirtel. The result score was irrelevant after that 10 - 1 or 2 - 1. And we certainly couldn't have expected to have gone the rest of the season without a defeat. That was trusting to luck too much. So, for us or Wenger to look any further than that, is futile and serves no purpose. City cannot maintain it either. So there is yard stick with which we, and the rest can measure this season. Plain nuts, if you ask me, and there is going to be many a slip between today and May...my friends. Oh I forgot, you can safely pencil out Manure as any threat to influencing 'The Drop'. They should be safe. Do you think???
Both good posts from Vinda & FoB. The press is getting bored with the continued failure of Manure; time to switch back to Arsenal, their favourite whipping boy. Wenger must chuckle when he sees this kind of press meant to destabilise, but only serves to double his and Arsenals resolve. They say any press is good press, 'cos no one else gets a look in, or a mention, no matter how good they are. Chelsea springs to mind, but you cant trust them to last either.....City still has to be the big threat to our hopes. On a good or bad news night tomorrow, I can see us either losing 1 - 0 or winning 4 - 1......such is our season. L'pool may have helped take us out of our complacency, because that was how it was beginning to look, and why we were wondering #$%$ was going on in the first 20 mins. or so. The shock must have taken a while to sink in, judging by the defence at 6's and 7's. and L'pool capitalized big time. TIME out, and to move on.....
I have to agree with you fab. Ten minutes into the 2nd half I actually found myself switching channels. I had had enough of them fiddling about trying to knit a jumper together with passes in spaces that didn't exist, that bordered on the absurd, knowing that it was what Manure were prepared for, and snuffing them out every time. Do they really believe that these intricate little exchanges are going to win a championship. Wenger's got to try something new for Gods sake, or I'm gone. I cant stand watching them make fools of themselves every week under performing. What was once beautiful to watch is now becoming as boring as watching paint dry. Oh! and yes Vindaloo, Giroud has to be shown the bench, and then the door if he doesn't do what he's being paid for, handsomely at that.....he's become a waster, more than Bendy.
And piggy doubles up, being ridden hard by some rickitty old snot, on his back. Streaky Bacon for brekky is it butchy boy...or do you prefer a squealing piglet with an apple in her mouth, basted and ready....
.....and I suppose you think that's f...ing funny do you comes. a time will come when you are going to have to stand up and have the sh...t kicked out of you. and you'll wonder what the f...k for. But that's you. As thick as pigs shyte......butch..Now button you lip and F Off from here moron....You're not wanted cup cake....
Shut your pie hole pigshyte, or go suck the old sow you live with....your an #$%$.....and leave that wet noodle of yours alone while your posting your usual shyte piggy, its choking the life out of you....thank god....
That's more like it slayer, me too...&...rikki must be guzzling pints of 4 X trying to keep up......little shyte's stink the worst....
Well I guess that put a bug up Rikki's backside....well posted Gov......
...how the Pommy b'sterd squeals to a silent board in the middle of the night........its a joy to behold...Had a good night on the turps have we Rikki???
For Christ sake shut up Govinda. You sound like an Indian fakar trying to sell himself. What the hell do you know about professional footballers and what goes on with them and the club? I'm sick of reading your persistent belly aching about our team Arsenal. Are you a supporter or just a fair weather version? Give us a break until the end of the season. Then have your say. Don't 'suppose'. Support....and if you live in another country then I can understand how you would be short of facts. If you have to rely on TV and the press, then you have no kind of case, for your continued biased support.
#$%$! and a lot of self opinionated shyte. As usual. What did you do with your day then Govinda? Not work your #$%$ of, that for sure.
#$%$ slayer. Along with your under rated 'rating'. Once again I pose the question, what the hell do both of you know about professional footballers. How could you possibly know what goes on in their life, in their head for that matter. Its them who can put in a shift, in front of 'millions' leaving themselves open to all kinds( including you two, who probably haven't kicked a bl..dy football in your life) that I respect. Do you suppose its easy trotting out there in front of people and fans who have only hope that you help the team win. And then when you don't, do you suppose they trot off happy?? FFS! We have done well so far this season, and if we end up with nothing again, then so be it. We try again until we get something.. That's what supporters do each time they turn up at the turnstiles .and pay to watch their team, and 'hopefully' win.
Yes, GOVINDA, I thought you might want to wriggle your way out of what must have been a kick up the #$%$ for your supposed support, albeit in reality or on Tv. Also note, nobody mentioned you being a single cell, or questioned your intelligence, but your support . Whatever other opinion you may have, I don't give a sh..t, but I do about Arsenal. And I don't need an air head to tell me what I do or do not know about football. Its enough to say that I have been with and around The Arsenal FC a lot longer than you, and know more about 'what' Arsenal represents to me, and its not picking holes in their performance every game that we don't conform, or play up to your expectations GOVINDA . You also forgot to mention one or two points. I really have no interest in what you can or cannot afford, or where you get your 'football' information from. Mine comes from being born in N. London, when one had to beg for the entrance fee into Highbury. So don't tell me your sad story GOVINDA....tell that to your benefits officer. And please continue to pay your TV revenue, by all means, & if you think that's what keeps the PL afloat then you are sadly mistaken, or ill informed at best. BTW its Jacob, GOVINDA. And do try to be respectful, if not English. Have your opinion by all means, but quit belly aching.
AND BTW. I said 'IF you rely on Tv or the press'! I'm not 'suggesting' anything. OKAY? Now try to show a little backbone GOVINDA, and roll with the punches. We'll have our day at Arsenal soon enough. -
there's a message from butch John. He's sorry he can't make it, as he has his foot caught in his hammock on Bali beach, and its a devil of a job to get these locals to understand he's not drunk, but just caught up at the moment.
However, I will be there, and if you look for a tall bloke with a combover, riding a Ducati, give me a heads up and show me where to park. I haven't been to the Emirates before, and I don't know N. London that well. Appreciated. Thanks John -
My own thoughts entirely Govinda. Its beyond 'bad luck' now. Just go back through the last 3 seasons or so, and it becomes clear that Arsene or Arsenal have just got a jinx with injuries. I mean it was bad enough having the Dutch dodgy ankle keeping him out almost permanently sometimes. Then we have busted ankles and legs everywhere. Had we not sustained such catastrophic injury lists we would have assuredly won something. Having said that, AW did so well under the circumstances, and IMO still is. This Spurs game will fall apart with the intensity, I think, if we cant keep control, and calm. Because sure as hell they will be doing their best to upset us....that's plan A. Plan B will be will all be down to luck, and we haven't had much of that lately, and who gets the first Red card......:)

The unique film offers point-of-view footage that highlights what it's like for the millions of women around the world who walk miles to collect water each day.

Online giving is growing, and year-on-year the role social media plays in fundraising and marketing increases.
Online, particularly social, is already important, with 47% of Americans learning about a particular cause via an online channel.
Trevor Neilson of the Global Philanthropy Group states, "in the next two years, social media will become the primary way that Americans give money to charity."
So with online proving so important, who is doing what with content online in the charity sector? Here are three organisations with quite different approaches, detailed in Aegis Media and Social Misfits Media's new guide to social and content for charities.

I recently wrote a round-up post on the fairly new phenomenon by 'buy to give' ecommerce sites. One of the featured sites was MyGoodness.com.
I've been talking to its founders to find out more about its founding ethos and the future of the platform.
Will buy-to-give become a larger part of charities' efforts and charitable 'donations', as the consumer urge continues unabated?
by Ben Davis 19 November 2013 16:00pm 0 comments
The feeling of leading a charitable and sustainable life is one that most of us want. For those of us that don't straight-out donate to charity, making the right choices is essentially the best way to give back.
Sort of like that decision not to go to McDonald's but to use the local bakery instead or buying a pair of TOMS, for example, we feel as if we've given something back without making any effort. Guilt-free consumption, if you will.
If you're not familiar with TOMS, it's the shoe and eyewear brand with the 'One for One' philosophy. For every product bought, TOMS will help a person in need.
Of course, this reads a little like cheating on the part of the customer that wants to feel like a saint whilst getting those in vogue boating shoes. Well, actually I don't think it is.
I think ecommerce and philanthropy are a natural fit, allowing customers to give something back simply by making the right choices.
In this post, I'll be listing eight buy-to-give ecommerce companies and explaining why I think this movement might fundamentally change company culture.

At the end of August, ahead of the Vuelta a España, Spain's national cycling tournament, we decided to do a virtual bike ride for charity.
The plan was to cycle the distance from our London headquarters to our Spanish office. The 1,718km bike ride would take place over five days on two exercise bikes situated in our home in Tech City, with the challenge of raising £1,000.
We estimated that for us to hit our target, we had to have both bikes in use for eight hours a day. The challenge was set. Pre-competition donations were slow and we needed to come up with an idea of how to increase sponsorships and promote the event.
Our marketing team were tasked with increasing visibility of the event, driving engagement and, importantly, raising donations... with just one catch – while everybody bought into the great initiative, this was still something that needed to be fit in around our day-to-day work.

Is social media a good way to build an AIDS-free generation, raise philosophical questions, or inspire youngsters to learn and embrace more actions for positive change?
Sounds tricky, but there are projects out there that are pushing the awareness message in an unconventional way, helping the ambition to drive awareness go international.

In recent weeks we've blogged about how different charities are making use of Pinterest and Facebook, with the aim of highlighting the different ways that non-profits are taking on social.
One of the main challenges I noted was that it can be tricky for charities to come up with interesting content, especially if they are dealing with difficult or sensitive causes.
With this in mind, I thought it would be useful to look at how non-profit organisations can get started on Twitter and use it to raise awareness or funds.
This not meant to be a comprehensive list for defining a social media strategy, but rather a set of tips and talking points to help those that just starting out on Twitter or are looking to improve their social marketing...
by David Moth 29 April 2013 13:39pm 4 comments
Last week I looked at 10 charities that are using Pinterest as a way of promoting their causes and raising awareness of the work they do.
To continue the theme, this post looks at 10 charities and how they use Facebook for the same purposes.
One of the tricky issues for charities is that they often deal with difficult or upsetting issues, so it's hard to find content that people will want to 'like'.
The way round this is to focus on the positive side of what they do, such as fundraising and helping those in need.
If there are any charities that have successful or interesting Facebook pages that I haven't mentioned, please point them out in the comments section...
by David Moth 18 April 2013 11:01am 12 comments
As someone who believes we all have a responsibility to contribute to society (not just in our home country but also to important global issues), I'm receptive to initiatives that marry consumerism with philanthropy.
When the industry I work in contributes to good causes, it puts a smile on my face.
That's why I'm interested in how e-commerce facilitates socially responsible actions, such as enabling donations to Charities and not-for-profit organisations, without placing the burden on the individual to part with cash.
The latter is particularly important given the continued economic woes and financial pressures.

Lezyne Stainless 12 Multi-Tool $39.99
Bike shop that fits in your pocket.
It can be tough to find a happy medium between carrying everything you need and keeping weight and bulk to a minimum. A lot of hydration packs have only the minimum storage space for your spare tube, levers, pump, chain links, a snack, and a multi-tool. Because of this, the 45-tool kitchen-sink-included multi-tool isn't always the best option. The Lezyne Stainless 12 Multi-Tool has the most commonly-used tools without filling your pack at one shot.
Without a doubt, the 5mm Allen key is the most useful tool on any bike-specific multi-tool. Here the good ol' 5mil is joined by its 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8mm buddies. The Stainless 12 is also packing a Phillips and a flathead, a chain breaker (9 or 10 speed), a T25 Torx, and a triple spoke wrench that includes Mavic MTB, 3.22, and 3.45mm wrenches.
All of this is held together with a forged aluminum frame to keep weight down. The frame is specifically designed to make it easy to use the tool with gloves on. The lightweight frame and tough stainless tools are corrosion-resistant to give you years of faithful service.
The Lezyne Stainless 12 Multi-Tool is available in Silver, Blue, Gold, and Red.

I purchased this to stash on my new rig, it fits nicely in my seat pack and doesn't rattle around mainly because of the strap provided. I haven't had to use the chain breaker yet( hopefully I don't ) but it looks stout enough to do the job. The finish and craftsmanship are top notch.

I received one of these as a gift, and even though I already have a Crank Brothers multitool, I kept this one around as a backup.
The wrenches all works well, whole thing seems to be very well constructed. Chain tool is actually better then the crank brothers one in my opinion. doesn't have quite as many wrench sizes though, so it's still relegated to backup use.
