Lover's Leap, Bluff Park, Alabama
Beautiful overcast fall day today for my commute home from work. I wanted to head up to Bluff Park instead of my normal commute through Vestavia Hills. A little more than an hour into my ride, I found myself exploring the Lover's Leap rocks up in Bluff Park with the cool inscription shown below (and narrated in the video above):
Lover's Leap inscription. Scroll to the bottom of this post to see my best guess at what it says.
Here's the rest of the pics from the day, plus one more video — the somewhat crazy descent from Crest Lane all the way down through the Green Valley roller coaster. I've put some bookmarks into the description on youtube so you can jump to specific spots of the video if you watch it on you tube and then click the timestamps in the description.

End of the Season Statistics and THANKS
First, a huge thank you to everyone in the cycling community and to all who have been following my racing this year. I'll expand this thank you at the end of the post, but I wanted to thank everyone up front first.
These statistics all run from November 1, 2010 until October 30, 2011 – 364 days worth of riding and racing. This is a deviation from previous years where I have calculated statistics for what I would call my racing/training season – from December 1st of the previous year until the weekend ending close to October 15th of the current year. This strategy is somewhat less than precise and completely ignores the "off season" where I am still riding, commuting etc… So from here on out, I'm just going to stick with a full calendar year (ending on the nearest weekend, in this case October 30th) for tracking all of the stats. The Polar Protrainer software makes it easy to re-calculate these statistics over new date ranges.
Statistics Summary
November 1, 2010 – October 30, 2011
|Weekly training time (hours)
|Weekly distance (miles)
|Workouts per week (#)
|Weekly climbing (feet)
For eagle-eyed observers who note that the climbing total is lower than that reported on Strava, the reason is because I am generating these reports from my Polar Protrainer software. I wrote a converter that converts Garmin .FIT files and .TCX files into the .HRM format that Polar expects. The Polar Protrainer software then applies a smoothing filter when it is calculating total ascent and other statistics, but I can't figure out how to turn it off so that the statistics match up with Strava, which doesn't apply any smoothing filters.
Some weekly milestone totals (from Strava):
- 11 weeks with more than 400 miles of riding, including one 502 mile week
- 8 weeks with more than 50,000 ft of climbing, including one week with 58,000 ft
- 11 weeks with more than 25 hours of training/racing
Other statistical highlights (from Strava):
- Approximately 430 different KOMs on Strava
- An end of the season 163 mile epic with over 17,000 ft of climbing
- A new max speed of 61.5 mph on the Sassasfras Chimneytop Descent
The mileage and climbing represent a substantial increase from previous years, but my heartrate average dropped by 5bpm per ride on average which is a substantial decrease in intensity. The extra easy miles mixed in with bouts of intensity from racing and Strava KOM attempts combined with "SportLegs" and wearing compression clothing nearly 100% of the time that I am not on the bike or sleeping has been the perfect formula to keep from overtraining.
Comparison to past years
All years run from the Monday closest to November 1st to the Sunday closest to October 31st. This should result in about 365 days for each year give or take a day or two.

1 When I first got my Garmin in November 2008 (which falls in the 2009 year), I was leaving my commutes as one ride. In other words, I would just stop the timer while I was at work and then start it back up for the return trip home. During 2008, I was using a Polar HRM which wouldn't let you do that so each commute was counted separately as a workout. Then at some point later in the 2009 season, I decided to just do separate workouts for each commute on my Garmin. So really, the only apples-to-apples comparison for the number of workouts is for the years 2008, 2010, and 2011.
Racing Season Summary
The 2011 season has definitely been my best ever, but there have been a few disappointments as well … so I think I'll call this the season of "almosts". Somehow I managed to have some of the best results of my racing career, and yet, each result was tinged with a little bit of disappointment about what might have been. For example, near the beginning of the season I won the Alabama State road race this year by being the first place Alabama rider across the line, but I narrowly missed out on winning the race outright in a two-up downhill sprint. Then, near the end of the season, I almost won an NRC race solo. After getting caught on the last lap by a chase group of three, I managed to get DFL in the sprint and miss out being on an NRC podium by exactly one spot. In the same weekend, I missed out on a top 10 in an NRC omnium by one spot – placing 11th. Don't get me wrong, I am really, really happy with those results, but it is still a bit disappointing to come so close and still miss out. In the Six Gap Criterium, I almost won a $150 prime towards the end of the race after almost bridging to the winning break earlier in the race. In the Six Gap Century the next morning, Jimmy Schurman and I almost beat the course record – falling short by 1 minute. For the season, I have six 4th place finishes, five 2nd place finishes, and three 11th place finishes – the dreaded "almost" positions (i.e., almost on the podium, almost winning, and almost in the top 10).
One "almost" that I am very thankful for is how a crash in May turned out when it could have been much, much worse. On the next to last lap at the Sandy Springs criterium, I came into a corner too hot, over-corrected when my wheels started to slide out from under me, and ended up t-boning the metal barriers shoulder first at pretty much full speed (30+mph), and somehow came out of the wreck with only a torn pectoral muscle, separated shoulder, and broken toe. This was the first broken bone and major injury I've had on the bike in nearly 20 years of racing even having gone down in many different accidents throughout the years. Everything healed up great and three weeks later I was racing again.
Despite all of the "almosts", there has been lots to be thankful for and to celebrate -
- Strava – motivation to climb more than I ever have before – should hit 2 MILLION feet by the end of the year and hopefully win a year-long worldwide competition. http://app.strava.com/komchallenge/men/2011 Fun to compete again people from all over the world, and there have been some close months that I have lost and yet it has still been really fun.
- Long multi-day races – I had the opportunity to race several multi-day omniums. Perhaps my favorite was the Tour of America's Dairyland where I stayed with an amazing host family for 10 days of racing – culminating with a top 10 finish on the last day of racing in front of the Wisconsin state capital http://toonecycling.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/madison-criterium-tour-of-americas-dairyland-day-11/.
- Athens Twilight – I won a late race prime coming around the entire United Healthcare leadout train (although they weren't going for the prime) and still finished in the top 30.
- Improved time-trialing – I have moved from the very bottom to somewhere roughly in the middle of the results sheet in time trials – including one time trial that was well-attended with strong riders where I almost won money. Yes, it was one of those 11th place "almost" positions where they paid 10 deep.
- Podium, baby! – Counting the Strava monthly competition, I have been on the podium 25 times this year!
Finally, the graphs and charts!
2011 Critical Power. The red dashed line is the predicted power I should be able to sustain for the given time period. The solid colored area is the best I have ever attained for a given time period. The black line is the data from the Six Gap Century.
Time spent in heartrate zones. This bar chart is the report that I look at most often throughout the year. I want to make sure at certain times of the year that I am spending enough time in the "red zone", and at other times of the year I want to make sure I am not spending too much time in the red zone.
Total training time. This graph is a display of my weekly total training time. Can you guess which week I crashed at Sandy Springs??? I still managed 9 hours that week riding with one of my arms in a sling!
Distance and heartrate average. This graph plots the weekly distance and the heartrate average for each individual ride for the entire year.
Weekly climbing. This is my weekly climbing for the year (with Polar smoothing filter that can't be turned off applied). Can you guess which week was spent up at the Tour of America's Dairyland in Wisconsin?
Number of workouts. Note the distinct drop in the summer when I am not commuting.
And finally, finally, some more thank you's
I am deeply appreciative to so many people who make it possible for me to ride and race my bike as much as I do. First of all my @beautifulwife, Kristine Toone, and my kids Analise and Josiah, my parents and all of my teammates, friends, and family. I'm working on a separate post with a map of all the places that we have travelled and all the places where we have stayed for races. In that post, I'll thank people by name who have helped out so much. I'll leave this exceedingly long post with just one more thanks – thanks!
The Double Oak Way 1500 (aka fun in the off-season)
The Double Oak Way 1500ft climb (medium version)
Huge version (5.9MB)
3D map of the complete Double Oak Way 1500ft climb
The Double Oak Way climb has been a favorite of mine since I first rode it a couple years ago after somebody at Tuesday Worlds mentioned that they had rode their motorcycle up it the day before. The very next day, I went for a ride out to Mt Laurel and climbed it for the first time. I had scouted it out ahead of time using topocreator.com and knew that the road would take you up over 1400ft, which is very rare for the Birmingham area. The only other climb I am aware of that tops out at over 1400ft is the Pine Mountain climb north of Trussville.
So anyway, my first time up the Double Oak Way climb was the summer of 2008. Since then, I have climbed it probably 20 times over the course of a couple years. Well, as I was working on the topocreator.com website last night (yes, it is going to go into real beta testing soon!), I stumbled across a topocreator map of the climb and noticed for the FIRST time that there was a small thick contour line representing 1500ft not too far from where the road ends at the radio towers. The towers are at an elevation of just over 1450ft, but less than 3/4 of a mile away was the opportunity to ride up to 1500ft. I immediately scanned the map to find the lowest point in the area to see just how big a climb I could make it. And it turns out there is a spot in nearby Chelsea at 475ft meaning that the total vertical relief was just over 1000ft. Plus with a few downhills thrown in throughout the climb, there is over 1700ft of total elevation gain in the 10.3 mile climb.
Today, for the first time I did the complete 10.3 mile climb topping out at 1502 ft. Let me take you through the climb as I remember it. First, I didn't get started until later in the day, so I knew that the only way to make it all the way out to Chelsea and back before it got dark was to bee line a good portion of the route on 280. Once I made it to Chelsea, I promptly turned around and began the climb. You first go through the Chelsea Corners shopping center before crossing under a small railroad bridge where the road turns into onto Old Hwy 280, which follows a creek on a fairly gradual incline right between these towering cliffs on either side of the road and creek. At the top, I just missed the light to cross 280 so after a short wait, it was game on again to finish the climb. There are a couple of steep rollers as you head out on Co Rd 41 towards Mt Laurel. Then, once you make the right turn onto Double Oak way just on the outskirts of Mt Laurel, the real fun begins!
The climb hits you hard right at the beginning with a 0.6 mile stretch that climbs 389ft for an average gradient of 11.8%. There are a couple of short spots where the gradient approaches 25%! There is also a gate about 3/4 of the way up this part of the climb, where you have to dismount and literally climb through the middle of the gate between the thick bars to keep cars and motorcycles out. Remount just in time for the 20-25% "am I going to fall over" 1/10th of a mile stretch which I went up at 7.1mph (avg), 5.9mph (min), 9.2mph (max). The next part of the climb starts out with a short steep downhill followed by the start of the next section of the climb, which is a 1.75 mile stretch with an average gradient of only 2.75%. This is where the best views are, too, and it is so nice and peaceful to ride on a road without any cars at all! The only thing you have to worry a little bit about is deer. I startled three on the ride today narrowly missing one on the way back down!
The road kicks back up to 16% gradient as you make it to 1425ft at the top of this first crest. On the other side, is a super steep downhill (20%) that bottoms out before you immediately start climbing again at nearly a 20% gradient up to the radio towers. This is where I have turned around the past 20 times I have done this climb. But after seeing the topocreator map last night, I knew that I was going to do my best to make it to the 1500ft circle on the map! So I headed off-road onto what is probably a hunting trail (have to be careful about that, I tried to make a lot of non-deer sounding noises, i.e., whoops and hollers which was pretty easy since I was having just about as much fun as I have had all year on the bike!). I followed the trail which was mostly double track covered in leaves and even some grassy areas. I flew through this area which was fairly flat at 1450-1475ft before it dives down again to an intersection with what is probably a motorcycle dirt trail judging by the ruts and rocks. This was really hard to ride because the rocks were big and loose.
At the intersection with another trail, my memory was getting a bit hazy about where to find the final stretch back up to 1500ft, and I almost turned around thinking I had missed it when I looked up and saw another split in the trail heading up to the top. It was super steep, sandy in spots, rutted, and rocky in some spots so I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it up the 1/4 mile trail with max gradient of 18%. But as I got further and further and hadn't fallen off yet, I thought maybe I could make it to the top. Alas, I got stuck in a rut not 50m from the top and decided it would be faster just to run the rest of the way up. At the top, there was another path off the trail that led to some rocks where I got a few of the pictures below. I had made it to 1500ft. Total time for the climb – 10.3 miles in 41 minutes for an average speed just under 15mph!
It was beautiful, and the sun was getting ready to set so I couldn't enjoy it long. Took a few pictures and then booked it back through the trails, over Hugh Daniel, back across 280, and all the way home just after sunset. It was an amazing awesome ride. Check out the maps, pictures, and data below. Also, the bottom map shows the climb in relation to several of the other climbs and high points in the area. So who's going to go with me next time??? I can't wait to tour guide this climb to some adventurous riders!!!

Gatlinburg to Clingman's Dome
How is that for a scenic view and ride profile? It took just over two hours to do the 22 mile climb out of Gatlinburg up to the Clingman's Dome parking lot – and then only 42 minutes to make it all the way back down! That works out to an average speed of 11mph on the way up and 31mph on the way back down. My one mistake for the ride was not realizing that there is actually a paved path the rest of the way up to the lookout tower that is like a hot wheel's track for grown-ups. When Kristine and I drove back up to the top later, we passed a small group of cyclists nearing the top. We then saw them riding up the path and caught up to them while they rested at the lookout tower. I found out they race for a team in the tri-state area (TN-NC-VA). The view is absolutely amazing. Check out the rest of the photos from the ride.
Dauphin Island Ride
Yesterday I took two of my programming students to the University of South Alabama just west of Mobile for a programming competition. The competition involves a 5-hour session where we cannot make any contact at all with the students. What is a biking professor to do for those 5 hours? Well, let's see, I'll go for a bike ride! Here's a topocreator.com map of the route I took from the university down to the coast and across a 4 mile long bridge.
I started out heading due south on Hillcrest Road which was surprisingly hilly with some 5, 6, and 7% grades. It was a very wide 4 lane road, but there was a bit of traffic. Eventually, I made my way down to Carol Plantation Rd which took me for the next 14 miles south towards the coast. This road had much less traffic, but it was a narrower 2 lane road with a speed limit of 55mph. The road was very straight so most cars passed on the opposite of the road. I had a pretty strong side-headwind to battle so my pace hovered right around 20mph. It was very windy once I made it to the bridge. The middle of the bridge rose up very sharply with a maximum grade of 7%. Just to the right of the white line was about 18 inches of smooth, debris-free shoulder which allowed me to ride the bridge without being in traffic and without worrying about getting a flat tire. The actual shoulder was probably 6 feet wide, but it was quite debris-strewn past that 18 inch mark. It didn't matter much though because there was hardly any traffic.
Dauphin Island itself was a great place to ride with low speed limits, and wide smooth roads. I rode to the easternmost point of the island just past the ferry which is a 45 minute trip across the bay to Fort Morgan. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time for me to ride the ferry across, so I turned around and headed back with a strong tailwind. I was able to average much closer to 25mph for large sections of the return trip, except for the portions of the route which turned northeast since it was a strong southeasterly wind. It was an awesome change of pace from my normal riding in Birmingham.
Fall Commute
I biked home from work early today to make it ahead of the rain. Even though the lighting wasn't good, the fall colors were absolutely amazing. I had my old camera with me and got to do one of my favorite things to do while riding a bike — taking pictures! These pictures below are all taken on the climb up Smyer Road or from the top of the mountain at the Baptist Church.

Scholar, African traditionalist poet, and Senegal's first president, Léopold Sédar Senghor was born on October 9, 1906 in Joal, Senegal. His father, Basie Diogoye Senghor, was a Malinké landowner. His mother, Gnilane Bakhoum, came from a Christian Fulani family. They gave Senghor a European name to reflect both the noble Serer culture they identified with, as well as their Catholic faith. Senghor grew up with his father's four wives and his twenty-four siblings.
At the age of seven, Senghor was sent to a Catholic mission school, where he first learned French. At 13, he decided to enter the Catholic priesthood. He attended Libermann seminary in Dakar but in 1926, dissuaded by the seminary, switched to the secondary school Lycée Van Vollenhoven. He graduated from high school with honors and his classical languages teacher persuaded the colonial administration to grant Senghor a scholarship to pursue literary studies in France.
The Mali Empire was the second of three West African empires to emerge in the vast savanna grasslands located between the Sahara Desert to the north and the coastal rain forest in the south. Beginning as a series of small successor trading states, Ancient Ghana, the empire grew to encompass the territory between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Chad, a distance of nearly 1,800 miles. At its height in 1300, Mali was one of the largest empires in the world.
The Mali Empire was strategically located between the West African gold mines and the agriculturally rich Niger River floodplain. Mali's rise begins when the political leaders of Ghana could not reestablish that empire's former glory following its conquest and occupation by the Almoravids in 1076. Consequently a number of small states vied to control the salt and gold trade that accounted for Ghana's wealth and power.
Patrick Vieira, one of Europe's leading soccer players, was born in the Cape Verdean community of Dakar, Senegal, on June 23, 1976. He left Senegal at the age of eight when his family moved to Europe and settled in Dreux, in northwest France. Soon after their arrival the family became citizens of France.
Vieira began his professional soccer career playing for several local youth clubs in France. Then in 1993, at age 17, he joined AC Cannes Soccer Club. The French club provided an atmosphere for the young 6-foot-4 center midfielder to advance. After three seasons with AC Cannes, Vieira signed with AC Milan, one of the leading clubs in Italy. Although he hoped to break through to the first team in the 1995-96 season, Vieira spent much of his time on the reserve squad.

Galaye M'baye Diagne, the first African elected at the French National Assembly and to obtain a post in the French government, was born on October 13, 1872, on Gorée Island, Senegal. His father, Niokhor Diagne, was a cook, and his mother, Gnagna Anthony Preira, a servant. While still very young, Diagne was placed in various Métis (mixed race) families, and finally adopted by a wealthy Christian Métis, Adolphe Crespin, who renamed him Blaise. Crespin sent him to the Brother of Ploemel School for his primary education. A brilliant pupil, Diagne pursued his secondary education in Aix-en-Provence, France. He passed the French Customs Service entrance examination in Senegal in 1891.

Cheikh Anta Diop University or Université Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD), located in Dakar, Senegal, is among the largest universities in French-speaking West Africa.
The UCAD has a relatively long history as it has evolved from the Ecole de Médecine de Dakar, a Medical School that was founded in 1918 by the French Colonial administration. A January 1918 decree led to the formation of the school mainly due to the need to train medical assistants to help colonial doctors. In 1936, the Institut Francais d'Afrique Noire (IFAN), a research center for African studies, was also created in Dakar.
In the 1950s, various schools of higher education were created in Dakar in connection with the University of Bordeaux, France. These institutions and the Ecole de Médecine de Dakar were combined into the Institut des Hautes Etudes de Dakar (Dakar Institute of Higher Education) on February 24, 1957. Certificates in Physics, Chemistry and Biology were also provided as preparatory for the medical program.

The Four Communes of Senegal in French West Africa, Gorée, Dakar, Rufisque, and Saint-Louis, were the only places during the African Colonial period, where African inhabitants were granted the same rights as French Citizens.
As early as 1840, the importance of Gorée Island and Saint-Louis (located on an island of the Senegal River) as key French trading post settlements led to the establishment of a General Council in each colony. In 1848, the Second French Republic awarded to its Senegalese colonies the right to send an elected representative to the French National Assembly. Later in 1872, a decree granted to Gorée and Saint Louis the same advantages as French Communes.
Due to the intensification of trade activities in the city of Rufisque, situated on the Atlantic Coast, identical rights were granted to the settlement, which became a fully-empowered commune in 1880. Dakar, now the Senegalese capital, was the last settlement to be granted the rights in 1887. It became the fourth Commune of Senegal.

The Mouride Sufi Order was founded by Sheikh Ahmadou Bamba in 1883 in the Senegambia region of West Africa. At this period there was a great deal of social dislocation and economic hardship in this region because of the impact of colonialism. Bamba thought that people needed to be more directly connected with Allah through hard work and prayer. He also taught his pupils that they should be responsible for their behaviors, have a useful occupation, and should be self-reliant. Originally the followers of the Mourides were youth, former slaves, and soldiers of the colonial administration or those from the Wolof ethnic group.
The Mouride Brotherhood promotes pious adherence to the teachings and laws of the Quran. Though education is encouraged, one is also able to connect with Allah through hard work. If a follower is productive enough he is forgiven for not praying five times a day because his dedication to work is seen as a form of prayer. The Mouride order is unique among Muslim Brotherhoods because its leaders inherited their positions as Sheikhs through bloodlines; through this women are allowed to become Sheikhs.
Writer and political activist Mariama Ba was born in 1929 in Dakar, Senegal to a well-to-do family. Her father worked in the French colonial administration and in 1956 became the Minister of Health of Senegal. Her mother died when she was young. Ba was raised by her maternal grandparents who emphasized conservative Muslim values. She attended a religious school, but was also educated in the French tradition. Due to the intervention of her father, she was enrolled in 1943 in the Ecole Normale (Teacher Training School) at Rufisque, a town some 25 miles away from Dakar where she received her diploma in 1947. Ba worked as a teacher from 1947 to 1959, before becoming an academic inspector. During this period, Ba had nine children with her husband, Obeye Diop. The couple separated and Ba was forced to raise her children as a single parent.
In the following account University of Cincinnati historian John K. Brackett describes the famous 16th Century painting of a black courtier at the court of Margaret of Austria, the Duchess of Savoy and Governor of the Habsburg Netherlands. The name and rank of this courtier remains a mystery. Professor Brackett, however, speculates on the possible African origins of the elegantly dressed nobleman.
The striking portrait to the right of a black African man dressed in the rich garb of a courtier, his visage composed and dignified, his elegantly gloved right had resting on the handle of his sword identifies him as a member of a court. It is a shame that at this point the contour of his figure is all that we know about this sixteenth century black man. Some context will at least bring us closer to knowing more about the particular individual who sat for Mostaert's now famous Portrait of a Moor.

Wenger Wrong Over Fabregas
So that's that then. Despite having a week or two to come to terms with it, it managed to be worse than expected to see Cesc in a Chelsea shirt. One of my favorite players to watch playing for one of the most despicable clubs and the most despicable manager in the league. If Wenger doesn't do some serious business this summer he may not make it all the way through the first year of his new contract. I get the argument for not spending the money on him given other needs, but he's better than anyone else in our midfield besides Ozil and maybe Ramsey, and it just seems like you have to pick up that sort of quality when it becomes available. This one hurts.
Charles, AFC
...Arsenal and Wenger have made a mistake from a footballing and PR standpoint. Ozil, Wishere, Ramsey and Cazorla have displayed that they WILL miss a significant amount of games through injury, let alone Diaby. From a PR standpoint the signing would have sold season tickets and shirts and improved the feelings of many Gooner faithful. As it is it just leaves some at worst angry and at best with a quizzical raised eyebrow.
Not to mention that you have just made a direct rival stronger. It will be interesting to see how the Fabregas/Mourinho relationship develops.
Ken B
...I've just seen the headlines and I am almost shaking with anger. What the hell have we done? It's about all I can do to not just write an email that is a stream of invective. I've never been in the Arsene Out camp. I can't stand reading Stewie Griffin's missives whining and complaining. But this? This, this is almost too much.
I've supported Arsenal for quite a while now, and, all through the Wenger era there has been a reality. Going right back to the joint sale of Overmars and Petit to Barca and Anelka to Madrid, our best players move elsewhere because we have to sell to raise money, for one reason or another. Players have joined us become world beaters and moved on to pastures new/bigger contracts. Arsenal fans have got used to watching our players win the biggest of trophies for other teams, mostly with a degree of understanding (for me, even RVP), the odd occasional one with a sense of resentment because of the way they gracelessly left the club (Cole, Adebayor and Nasri).
But, we were promised this would stop. We've largely paid for the new stadium, have monumental cash reserves and the signing of Ozil was supposed to usher in a new era. We could compete on a new level, no more selling to balance the books, genuine world class signings.
So what have we done this summer? We've let our first choice right-back leave because of an economic principle which, in the here and now doesn't make much sense, and, in addition, we've turned down re-signing Fabregas.
Let's let that sink in a touch. We've let the current first choice French national team right-back leave the club for nothing to (probably) join the current league holders - whilst we pay good money to sign a replacement. For the substantial encore we turned down the option we had on our former star player, captain, lover of our club, who is in the prime of his career and has won just about every trophy under the sun. And we've done it so that he can move to a 'rival' (I put this in quotation marks because Chelsea will be away and over the hill from us next season, at this rate). And, for the first time, we've done this not because we didn't have the money (understandable, if deeply frustrating) but because we just didn't want to.
The bats have left the belfry, Arsene has dropped all the sandwiches from his picnic, and has clearly stopped taking the sanity pills.
For anyone that wasn't paying attention for the whole of last season, despite Giroud being a bit 'so-so' and lacking some back-up to give him a rest, he did ok. Yes a top class striker would be lovely but did no-one else notice that our league challenge actually came off the rails when our talented-but-balsa-wood midfield all got injured? This will happen again. Arteta and Rosicky have got one more year in them (even ignoring the quality gap between them and Fabregas), two max, and Diaby isn't even worth talking about as a footballer anymore (sadly). We do actually need another midfielder! So why not sign the best guy that will be on the market for many a year. The deal was made for us.
We also needed to do it just to stop Cesc falling into someone else's hands. Fergie was the master at this. Lose the league and go out and make a statement, spend the money, rip the heart out of the opposition if you can. Buy the best player in the league. Do whatever you can to buy the star player that the other team want as well. We are just not ruthless enough. And so now we will have to put up with watching Cesc run a merry dance around the league for several years whilst we make do with Cesc-lite and his lego hair and whoever his cheap replacement is in a couple of years time. I genuinely believe that only us now going and signing Iniesta, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic or Messi will make up for this.
What's more, the renewal of the vastly expensive season tickets was two weeks ago. It's pretty sickening.
Yours in immense frustration and sadness.
Josh (no prizes for guessing where I'm from or who I support)
...So Cesc has joined Chelsea. It certainly does not take a genius to figure out that Wegner has made a big mistake.
Last season virtually all of our midfield players had anywhere from six weeks to three months out injury. Diaby did not even play a full game. So having a former captain and world class player back in the fold is a win, win situation. Yes, but not in Wenger's world. To his defence, Wenger would claim that bring Cesc back would stunt the playing growth of others such as Jack, the Ox, Diaby. However, competition for places is the real basis for winning trophies. Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd always have more world class players because it is a squad game and that is what leads to winning. In order to win titles you need players of the quality of Cesc. This is not me, as a season ticket holder, harking back to the days gone by, but wondering when is our manager going to add players of real quality to our squad. We have the cash. However, I get the impression Wenger will only add to squad if there is a crisis.
There is a real feeling of worry that we will stand still. This just weeks after winning our first trophy for a while. Wenger - it is time to get us some world-class talent that will make our first team unpredictable and truly fear. After 250,000 celebrated our win in May, some of us are now once again becoming nervous. Show us the way forward so we can really behind get back Arsenal.
Tony Laforce, Hackney, London
Wenger Right Over Fabregas
It's worth remembering Arsenal probably could have re-signed Petit from Barcelona in 2001 but opted for bringing in Edu. Back then with the players we had in midfield we didn't feel the need to bring back Petit and we went on to win the double.
Can't help but think there's a bit of deja vu about this whole Cesc situation. We don't need him either. Also Mata is the better player. This is all about Maureen's ego and him seemingly getting one over on Arsene - you haven't son.
Graham Simons, Gooner, (We've got Mesut bloody Ozil), Norf London
...I see some Gooners are losing their s*** over yesterday's events. Consequently I have compiled this list:
Players Arsenal have never replaced:
Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Robert Pires, Sol Campbell.
Players Arsenal have more than adequately replaced:
Cesc Fabregas.
Graham Simons, Gooner, Norf London
Weak Ref
I'm sure I won't be the only one to write about the refereeing in the Brazil v Croatia game, as it changed the complexion of the match entirely.
I've seen Yuichi Nishimura officiate before, and I think he's a generally solid referee; I just think that the occasion was too much for him, and he was too weak to stand up to the crowd. Leaving aside the absurd penalty decision (I know it's a cliche, but if you gave spot kicks for challenges like that we really would have 10 or 15 per game); the decision not to dismiss Neymar, which would have had huge consequences for probably the entire tournament, was clearly a bottle job. If you watch the replay you can see Neymar clocking Modric's position with a sly sideways glance, and, given he wasn't trying to jump, there was no need for his arm to be where it was at all. It was clearly violent conduct. You only have to look at Neymar's face as Nishimura races across to him to see that he feared a red card would be brandished.
Whilst I thought Croatia suffered from the bulk of the poor decisions you could also see the referee's weakness in the way he allowed five Croatian players to crowd him backwards against the advertising hoardings after the penalty decision. I'm not a massive fan of Howard Webb's but you can't imagine that happening to him.
Possibly the fault is with the organisers for having the home side play in the first match; the weight of expectation is too great. We were better served when the holders played first, and the hosts first match was just one of the first round of encounters. The pressure last night told on both the referee and Brazil, who, until the equaliser, looked nervy and off the pace. I suspect that the pressure also led to Neymar's challenge on Modric.
Still, on the plus side, it was a pretty entertaining match; lots of incident and never dull. Oh, and the Croatian 'keeper was pants; too slow and uncertain handling.
Roll on 5pm and match number two.
Tim the Tum
...I think the best thing that could happen to football would be Brazil leaving the tournament early. I have no truck with the romantic notions of a home triumph, nor do I buy into the necessity for the hosts to stay in the tournament as long as possible (based on the extraordinarily dubious refereeing from last night, it does look like a truly mediocre Brazil side are going to be there for the long haul).
My justifications for this desire are manifold - should Brazil crash out, there will be half empty stadia everywhere, providing very poor pictures for TV coverage, which will not look good for the sponsors, which will in turn, reflect badly on FIFA (can you see where this is heading?).
Should they crash out, there will be no panacea to deflect from the shocking amount of money diverted from the public purse directly into FIFA coffers and the groundswell of protest will surely become a tsunami, demonstrations and (hopefully) peaceful protests (although it does sadly appear that violent protest is the only way to predicate change) against FIFA and its corruption.
Nothing will change unless we take some simple steps - boycott the sponsors products; change credit card; eat at a different "restaurant"; watch the matches via a streaming servic; and hit FIFA where it hurts - in the profit margin. If enough of us do this, the current murmurs of discontent will become deafening and certain recent decisions could be changed, certain corpulent parasites could be removed from power and we could possibly, get our game back.
Dan - hey Fifa, leave our game alone.
Neymar: Just Like Welbeck
I was watching Neymar last night and it struck me that he is like a rich man's Danny Welbeck...
Great burst of pace; bandy-legged style; moments of brilliant skill; moments where he has the touch of Max Clifford; prefers playing centrally, but often stuck out on the left; underwhelming domestic season for European giant; Dodgy haircut.
Will see if Danny can do a Neymar on Italy.
Rex Conlon (Danny won't do a Neymar)
Swooning Over Zizou
I was glad to read Laurence's mail mentioning Zidane's godlike performance against Brazil, and his nutting of Materazzi. May I suggest reviewing this penalty after six minutes of a World Cup Final.
The inability to take a penalty will cost someone the chance at glory this World Cup, probably England, and Pirlo and others are rightly credited with their Panenkas, they take big balls. In the World Cup final Zidane faced Buffon, and put the ball over the line by about a foot and a half, via the crossbar, and meant it. He was celebrating before the ball even hit the bar. Then, he headbutted a guy for slagging his sister, thus rendering another flawless display of his 'style and arrogance' lost in the madness of what followed. He still came out of it a World Cup winner after doing the business in '98. Pure class.
James, Belfast
Dropped A Bollock
Fun piece from Nick Miller on third choice keepers, and great line on Dominique Dropsy's nominative determinism... but totally untrue!
Baratelli was the replacement for Demanes, who smashed his back on the post. Baratelli then did ok, but failed to stop Luque's thunderb*****d, which seems a harsh reason to drop him.
Dropsy then came in for the last game, a dead rubber against Hungary. Although he did concede a goal, there wasn't much he could have done to stop it.
Not sure what Hidalgo was thinking with the keeper situation - Baratelli wore no.1, but Bernard-Demanes appeared to be first choice despite only having nine caps at the start of the tournament.
Luke (enchanted by Rakitic's smile)
Alright, Dave?
With all the hype of the World Cup and Cesc Fabregas signing for Chelsea, I'd like to take a minute to reflect on the news that David Bentley has retired from football aged 29.
Another skillful, English player left by the wayside to rot. It's not everyone else's fault, the player himself had just as much to do with it. But he had all the talent in the world and its now gone to waste. Is there anything that can be done in the game to prevent people such as David falling 'out of love' with the game?
Don't worry David, I'll always remember that goal.
Chris, THFC.
Willian, Oscar and Luiz singing and dancing awkwardly on that ITV intro has to be the most epic fail in recent World Cup history.

s/ART/q unveils first show
Date: November 11, 2009
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
s/ART/q followed up this summer's blockbuster, T-shirt screen-printing event with a less raucous, but no less impressive, exhibit of art Nov. 6 and Nov. 7, in downtown Sarasota.
The new artists group transformed the former DK Vogue furniture store on State Street into a contemporary-art gallery filled with work by Jeff Schwartz, Daniel Perales, Joseph Patrick Arnegger, Tim Jaeger, Tobey Albright, Ricky Otto, Brandon Maupin, Sabrina Small, Tom Stephens, David Piurek, Nathan Skiles, Brian Haverlock, Daniel Miller and James Evans.
At a special preview for private collectors Nov. 5, the group sold four pieces of work before the doors even opened.
"It's been a dream," said painter and cofounder Arnegger, who said that he spent 48 hours straight jazzing up the two-story temporary gallery for the exhibit.
The group plans to host another T-shirt screen-printing event in December and is currently combing the city for possible gallery space for an exhibit this spring.

A roundup of tweets on the "weekend of resistance" in Ferguson, Missouri, October 10-13.
Depending on who you ask about the success or effectiveness of the "weekend of resistance" in Ferguson, Missouri, October 10-13, you'll get very different responses.
The lack of data surrounding a single aspect of domestic violence prevention programming is no reason for advocates to give up altogether, no matter what one NBC News writer implied in a recent article.
Community members and activists over the next month are gathering once again to demand justice for Brown, the victims of police violence nationwide, and the subsequent police crackdown on residents in Ferguson, Missouri.
Officials cancelled the remainder of Sayreville War Memorial High School's football season amid allegations of violent hazing rituals. However, new details suggest that what happened in the locker room was not hazing—it was rape.
A recent police shooting in South Carolina illustrates the importance of video when it comes to issues of race and policing. It also reminds us, however, that video alone is not enough to overcome or combat the violence resulting from implicit bias.
A measure on the Colorado ballot has been compared to "fetal homicide" laws in dozens of states, but the measure is more far-reaching, and could subject pregnant women to prosecution for everything from choosing abortion to driving without wearing a seat belt.
In a new study, researchers from Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health found that women experiencing intimate partner violence, and who were unable to get the abortion they were seeking, were less likely to escape their abusive relationship.
The Roberts Court begins its latest term with a docket full of cases that should make many of us nervous.
After a federal judge in Alabama accepted a plea deal on charges of intimate partner violence, a growing chorus of voices are calling for his resignation.

Voyager of the Seas
Launched in 1999, the revolutionary Voyager of the Seas was RCI's first "Project Eagle" ship. At almost 137,300 gt she dwarfs all other cruise liners with the exception of her sister ships. Despite the fact that she can carry more than 3,800 passengers, she never feels crowded due to her sheer size. Too wide to ever traverse the Panama Canal, she will cruise year around for Royal Caribbean in the Caribbean.

Not what I expected considering the reviewsRead this was a "must have" on a couple of reviews. I must say I'm disappointed so far. I have dark brown hair, almost black in color. It left a white powder residue. I brushed and brushed to try to get it out. I've taken notes from other reviewed and will try again. — 11 months, 1 week agodaze | 1 reviews

Rob Regal - Hard Times
Artist: Rob Regal
Featuring: K-Beta, Muggsy Malone
Producer: EQuinox Professionals
Album: The Practice Mixtape / The Preview
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 12 votes )
Hailed by many reviewers as a potential classic, It Ain't Hard to Tell '09 emcee Lyriciss' The Practice mixtape was packed from top to bottom with pure, uncut hip-hop goodness. Nowhere was this freshness more concentrated than on Hard Times, a collaborative cut so hot that guest contributor Muggsy Malone has elected to include it on his forthcoming, Booth-sponsored mixtape as well. Here, Equinox Productions' soulful instrumental, sampled from a track of the same title by curiously-named soul group Baby Huey and the Babysitters, sets the stage for for lyrical reflections on the street life from Lyriciss, Malone, and fellow reader favorite K-Beta. While the headliner's gritty rhymes and Beta's conversational bars don't disappoint, I was left most impressed by Malone's tightly-wound wordplay on the back end: "In the 'hood I felt like I was a chopped-down tree, and I would never leave." Agree with my assessment? If so, you'll be able to get a taste of Muggsy's TPK (The Parkway Kid) street album later this spring, when he drops aptly-titled preview mixtape The Preview.

Dumpling Wrappers
Dumpling wrappers, also known as dumpling skins, gyoza wrappers, or potsticker wrappers, are thin sheets of dough made with wheat flour and water. Typically, they're round, about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and come stacked in a plastic wrapper. Dumpling wrappers are stocked in the refrigerator section of Asian markets and some supermarkets.
Wonton wrappers can be substituted, though they lack dumpling wrappers' thin edge and will not pleat as well. If you substitute wonton wrappers, which are usually square, cut them into rounds before using.

Poverty is on the rise in Wisconsin. New census figures show Wisconsin's poverty rate rose 1.8 percentage points between 2003 and 2004.
The Census Bureau report shows the state's poverty rate was 9.2 percent in 2003. Officials say the numbers show people with low skill and education levels are struggling to bounce back from the national economic slowdown.
Another study says one in 10 Wisconsinites don't have health insurance. Those numbers are also from the 2003 to 2004 time frame.

Every Friday during August, you will be seeing Dancing In the Street, from 7 to 9 p.m., weather permitting, on Audrey Avenue at the Bandstand in Oyster Bay! The event is free; you just bring your dancing shoes, your friends, and general goodwill.
"We have been involved in organizing a new event - Dancing in the Street. Imagine a cool summer evening in Oyster Bay, with happy folks dancing around the historic bandstand on the no less historic Audrey Avenue. We will be there and we hope you will join us," said Ewa Rumprecht, one of the organizers of the event and co-owner of the Think Long Island First store in Oyster Bay.
On Friday, July 22, Acting State Supreme Court Justice Steven Jaeger ruled against the plan by the Republican-controlled Nassau County Legislature to redistrict the Legislature for the 2011 elections. The judge said that, according to the Nassau County Charter, the redistricting must wait two more years.
The plan to redistrict the county's 19 legislative districts was voted on and passed in the Legislature on May 24, along party lines, and the Democrats, in turn, filed a lawsuit against the plan. Presently, the Republicans hold an 11-8 majority in the Legislature.
Terry Kelly of East Norwich is aiming to nab a seat on the Oyster Bay Town Board in the upcoming November elections. With a little luck he may just do that. On Friday, June 24, he was out with buddies on a fishing trip. "I caught a 157 lb. mako shark off Montauk," said Mr. Kelly. "I go a few times a year around now, in June or July. We were on board the Windy, a charter out of Montauk."
Currently Mr. Kelly is concentrating on getting his petitions signed to get on the ballot. "I need 350 signatures for the Independence Party, and 2,000 for the Democrats."
This winter, the state fiscal watchdog NIFA took over Nassau County's finances. Now, six months into the "control period" this summer, the authority's attitude has apparently been heating up to match the seasons.
Meeting July 14 at The Long Island Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Uniondale, NIFA's board of directors employed an impatient and chiding tone, delivering a clear message: Nassau County's efforts to rectify what NIFA considers to be a financial disaster in the making are not good enough.
Just to remind Oyster Bay of its revolutionary roots, Raynham Museum staff members marched in the annual Fourth of July Parade dressed in authentic Colonial costumes. The house museum was the home of the Townsends, and General George Washington's spy, Culper Jr., (really Robert Townsend). The museum played a big part in our Revolutionary War beginnings, including being taken over by the Queen's Rangers during that war.
Linking Oyster Bay's past war with our present warriors, making their annual appearance in town were the Commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt and several crew members. Oyster Bay was the hamlet that donated items for the commissioning of the USS TR and there has remained a link between the ship and the hamlet ever since.
The May and June meetings of the East Norwich Civic Association were parts of the same story – but with surprise endings. With a concentrated effort the ENCA members are getting results on their agenda items.
Terrance Kelly of East Norwich attended the May meeting of the ENCA. He was amazed to see that the same topic of the Woodstock zoning violations was still on the agenda. "In 2011, it was the same thing just seven years ago," the last meeting he attended since opening his Northport business. He said he got involved with politics over the town tax increase of 3.5 percent. "It was unacceptable. I went to town hall and put them on the spot."
Stephen V. Walker, director of the Oyster Bay Community Band, is seeking sponsors for this year's performances at the Oyster Bay High School. The band will present three free lawn concerts in front of the Oyster Bay High School, starting at 8 p.m. on July 4, 13 and 20. In case of rain, they will perform in the OBHS auditorium.
It was another beautiful sunny day for the graduation of the Class of 2011, making it easy to hold the ceremony on the front terrace and lawn. Some parents went to sit close to the graduates, some clustered on the edges of the rows for a good look as the students marched by wearing their caps and gowns. Many families chose to move chairs under the majestic trees at the bottom of the lawn, to enjoy the shade. Sunday, June 26 was a typical Oyster Bay High School graduation.
Upper Brookville residents voted for two trustee positions on Tuesday, June 21, after the Enterprise Pilot went to press, on what was expected to be the biggest vote in the history of the incorporated village. Resident Sandy Major said just 13 votes were cast at previous elections. "It's time. It's very exciting no matter who wins." She said she encouraged people to come to the Meet the Candidates night at the Mill River Club held by candidates Peter J. Pappas, Jr. and Bradley Marsh on June 14, to see what is happening. She said, "It's a Democracy. It's going to be interesting to see what happens in the future." She said few people attend the regular UB board meetings and if that changed, and residents became involved directly with what happens in the village – everyone would benefit.

Convicted cybercrook stands for election in the Ukraine
A convicted cybercriminal has started a political party in the Ukraine. Dmitri Ivanovich Golubov, 24, formed the Internet Party of the Ukraine shortly after the country's elections last September. The party is running on a platform of modernisation and free market economics, campaigning on issues such as rooting out public …
A cracker as a politician?
Well, i guess he might have good chances of being elected... do they use voting machines over there?
Diplomatic immunity
"immunity from prosecution for criminal activities under the country's constitution"
Blimey, no political scandals there then, they can do what they want.
I wonder if it extends to fixing elections?
Why must you......
insist on printing contradictions?
"a.........politician interested in ideas and not money."
He'd be the first one.
i suppose...
...its probably easier for him to do this than try and find a cushy office job.
good for him.
i suppose...
...its easier than him trying to find a cushy office job..
good for him.
Cracker, Liar, Thief or Philanderer?
Which makes a better politician?
title? we don't need no stinking title.
At least they know from the get-go that he is^H^Hwas a crook. An open and *cough* honest politician? Novel concept...
Marvellous! As a politician he has plenty of opportunity for corrupt and criminal actions, for which he is constitutionally imune from prosecution! Presumably that bit was written by politicians?
No unusual there....
The former prime minister served time for armed robbery and the current prime minister managed to amass a fortune reputed to be around 3.6 Billion US$ by the time she was 36 years old in the mid-90s. Her near total control of the gas industry in Ukraine gave Tymeshenko the nickname of "The Gas Princess".
Re: A cracker as a politician?
Not unusual - the Alabama state legislature (among others) used to be full of them.
It couldn't happen here..
A politician with an in-depth working knowledge of computers, whatever next?
@John A Blackley
Not a contradiction in this case: he obviously made enough millions pilfering credit-card numbers that he could actually focus on ideas to improve his country.
Seriously though, if a common thief like this carder can get into politics, it's no wonder an adware/malware author like Kent Ertugrul can get into bed with an ISP or three.
At least he will know something about data security !!
Quite unlike own home grown ones who wouldn't know security if it stood up and bit them in the backside !!
@Diplomatic immunity - Anonymous Coward
Much ado about nothing - this is nothing more than cut-and-paste Italian politics.
Italian parties right, left and center have been doing that for years... and look, what a lovely country we live in...
But relax, no Italian pride over there, no IP to protect.
Pilato has a first here... can you remember "Who do you want us to set free? Jesus or Barabba?"
Note: that's not "I'll get my coat" but "A politician is stealing my money" icon
