Carl reflects on his first five months with the Club
Live Text isn't live anymore, this is a record of the match events.
FULL TIME: NORWICH 1-2 ARSENAL. A deserved win for the Gunners, thanks to a brace from captain Robin van Persie. A fifth straight Premier League victory for Arsene Wenger's side in the process - a job well done.
SZCZESNY IN COMMAND: Johnson opts to play the ball into the box, but Szczesny rises highest to claim superbly. He hasn't had too much to do this afternoon.
Substitution DJOUROU COMES ON: Theo Walcott comes off to a standing ovation from the Arsenal fans.
NORWICH FREE-KICK: It's around 30 yards from goal, and Bradley Johnson stands over it.
THREE MINUTES ADDED ON: Johan Djourou is on the sidelines waiting to come on.
JACKSON HAS A GO: It's powerful from the striker, who fizzes a long-range shot just over the bar.
CAN THEY HOLD ON? The clock is ticking and the three points are in sight. Can Wenger's stand firm on and avoid a late equaliser?
VICIOUS EFFORT FROM WALCOTT: The winger unleashes an effort on goal from an angle, firing narrowly over the bar.
Yellow Card HOLT GOES IN THE BOOK: The substitute goes down wanting a penalty - but it's offside. Presumably he talked his way into that one.
ARSENAL ENJOYING POSSESSION: They say the greatest form of defence is attack, and Arsenal seem content to enforce that mentality. They're keeping the ball well in these late stages.
JACKSON A THREAT: The Canadian international's goals helped Norwich reach this level in the first place. Can he do it again?
Substitution JACKSON COMES ON: It's the lively Pilkington who makes way, as Norwich introduce another striker.
Yellow Card TIERNEY GOES INTO THE BOOK: The left-back trips up Walcott and gets a yellow for his troubles.
PAT RICE BARKING INSTRUCTIONS: The assistant manager is doing his duties on the sidelines to make sure Arsenal get these three points today.
TEN MINUTES LEFT: Plus a bit more. Arsenal are looking good value for their lead but they still have plenty of work to do in order to ensure it stays that way.
Substitution YOSSI COMES ON: Gervinho has not had the best of afternoons, but encouragingly he is always in the thick of the action. Everybody is entitled to an off day now and again.
ARTETA STRIKES ON: Walcott involved again to tee up the Spaniard, who lashes an effort straight into the hands of Ruddy.
NORWICH STILL THREATENING: They have not given up by any stretch. Vermaelen is called into action this time and Arsenal get it clear.
BENAYOUN CALLED TO THE BENCH: The Israeli midfielder has just been called BY Pat Rice. Looks like he'll be on soon.
FINE DEFENDING FROM BARNETT: RvP slips the ball through to an onrushing Ramsey, who is eventually harried off the ball by the centre-back.
EXCELLENT BALL FROM PILKINGTON: It's a lovely ball into the box from a free-kick. And Arsenal head gets in the way - quite possibly that of Thomas Vermaelen - and danger is averted.
RECORD ATTENDANCE AT CARROW ROAD: It's a new high for an all-seater stadium here at Norwich. "You've only come to see the Arsenal," comes the cry from the away horde.
Substitution HOLT COMES ON: The big man is on the pitch for Norwich, replacing captain Hoolahan.
WALCOTT HITS A TAME ONE: He's looked excellent today and a goal would cap his afternoon. It's not to be this time though, and he strikes a weak effort into the hands of Ruddy.
Yellow Card CYNICAL CHALLENGE: Bennett brings down Gervinho from behind and it's a certain yellow card.
AND PILKINGTON GOES SO CLOSE! Bennett whips in a delightful ball across the face of goal - but Pilkington can't quite get on the end of it. A certain goal with some contact there.
CAN THEY FIND DAYLIGHT? A one-goal lead is never safe, as we all well know.
FIFTH BRACE OF THE SEASON FOR ROBIN: Another goal, another milestone. Come on Robin, you're just boring now.
ARSENAL FANS ARE ECSTATIC: They've waited for this goal all afternoon, but Arsenal are finally back in the lead.
IT'S BEEN COMING: Its barely even worth bringing up his goal record again, is it? The man is on fire. When he went through on goal it was simply inevitable.
HE JUST DOESN'T MISS FROM THERE: And what did you expect? Alex Song weights a lovely ball through for the Dutchman, who strides forward and chips Ruddy with a fine finish.
GOAL! - Robin van Persie 1 : 2 ARSENAL HAVE THEIR GOAL! GUESS WHO?
THEO COULD HOLD THE KEY: The England man has looked a threat going forward almost every time this afternoon. He may well be the answer for Arsenal here.
SUBS WARMING UP: Andrey Arshavin, Marouane Chamakh and Yossi Benayoun are just below us on the sidelines. All three could have some kind of impact on this game.
HOW MANY CHANCES CAN THEY RUE? It's not as if this game could not have been settled by now. Arsenal have carved out plenty of opportunities for themselves - but finishing has been left wanting.
GERVINHO SHOULD SCORE! The Ivorian is played through on goal by Van Persie. He opts to take it around Ruddy, does, but the keeper saves brilliantly at the second attempt.
RAMSEY FIRES JUST WIDE: It's Walcott with the delivery once more, whipping in a venemous cross at the near post which the Welshman can only divert narrowly past the post.
GERVINHO VERY INVOLVED: He's been frustrating so far, in truth. First Naughton tackles him well, before the right-back loses out. Instead of shooting on goal, however, the winger plays a stray pass which is cleared to safety.
PILKINGTON STRIKES IT: The summer signing from Huddersfield strikes on target, but Sczesny is on hand to pluck the ball from danger.
DANGEROUS NORWICH FREE-KICK: Vermaelen brings down Wes Hoolahan around 20 yards from goal. A very good position for the hosts.
GERVONHO HEADS GOALWARDS: It's Thomas Vermaelen who gallops forward and clips in a cross from the left. Gervinho's head meets it, but the ball sails true into the arms of Ruddy.
GERVINHO TRIES TO PLAY IN RvP: The Ivorian is involved twice to try and get the ball into the danger zone, but twice he is denied.
BENNETT CLIPS ONE IN: The winger's impact is immediate as he gets to the byline and looks for a Norwich head inside the box. He doesn't find one, however.
SCRAPPY START: Neither side have managed to keep possession early on just yet.
WE'RE OFF AGAIN: Norwich get us back into the action, as Arsenal look for a second goal in this game.
Substitution NORWICH SUB: It's a half-time change for Norwich, with Elliott Bennett replacing David Fox in midfield.
THEY'RE BACK OUT: The Gunners have re-emerged and we'll be underway once more shortly.
Half Time HALF TIME: NORWICH 1-1 ARSENAL. The Gunners have dominated the majority of the game, but ultimately haven't been able to convert the chances they've made.
ONE MINUTE ADDED ON: The fourth official raises his board and we'll have 60 seconds of extra action here at Carrow Road.
HALF IS PETERING OUT: A goal looks unlikely in these late stages, with both teams happy enough to see this one through.
HALF TIME APPROACHING: We're getting closer to the break here and it looks as though Arsenal will have to settle with going in level. Very much in the balance, this.
CORNER COMES TO NOTHING: It's shame, and Norwich manage to deal with it comfortably.
ROBIN WINS THE CORNER: It's Naughton with the simple challenge, and Arsenal have a chance to get ahead. Mertesacker and Vermaelen are forward.
MORISON DROPS A CROSS OVER: Norwich head down the other end looking for another sucker punch, but Morison's attempted cross is poor.
BARNETT BLOCKS WELL: Gervinho beats Naughton with ease, but his eventual effort is blocked really well by Barnett for a corner. Ruddy gathers the resulting set-piece.
ARSENAL DEFEND AS A PACK: Norwich win possession in midfield and drive forward, but Bradley Johnson is robbed by a combination of Vermaelen, Santos and Ramsey.
HANDBALL APPEALS WAVED AWAY: The ball is swung in from the left and drops in the box. Norwich fans want a penalty - but the referee says no.
BUT THEY HAVE A CORNER: Danger for Arsenal.
CAN THEY GET ANOTHER BEFORE THE BREAK? It wouldn't be undeserved by any stretch. Norwich are still well in this game and attacking when they can, but Szczesny has been left a bystander for the majority of this.
SHAKE OF THE HEAD FROM WENGER: Walcott runs the ball out for a goal-kick after Arsenal perhaps should have been given a free-kick rather than allow the advantage.
WHO CAN STOP HIM? That's 30 Premier League goals in just 29 appearances this calendar year. Sensational.
THE MAN WITH THE MIDAS TOUCH: Like his West Brom goal, there was nothing special about that. Right place, right time and a goal. Completely deserved.
THAT WAS ALL ABOUT THEO: The England winger makes a mockery of Tierney, before pulling the ball back across goal for a simple Van Persie tap-in.
GOAL! - Robin van Persie 1 : 1 IT'S THERE! ROBIN VAN PERSIE HAS SCORED AGAIN!
MORE DEFENDING FROM NORWICH: It's Van Persie to Arteta down the left, but with a host of bodies in the box the Spaniard's cross is swept away. Arsenal pushing all the time.
CROFTS SHOOTS WIDE: It's not close to troubling Szczesny, however.
RUDDY SAVES! Gervinho lets rip through the middle. Aaron Ramsey is screaming for the ball alongside him but the Ivorian opts to go alone and Ruddy saves. Martin, of course, is there to clear away off the line. Had he passed we may be discussing a goal.
MARTIN HEADS AWAY ONCE MORE: It's off the line in a way, but not quite the heroic save of before. Van Persie loops a header over Ruddy, but the defender is there to clear.
CAN ARSENAL RESPOND? Every sign suggests yes right now. It was a goal from nothing and the Gunners will no doubt continue to create opportunities for themselves.
SANTOS LETS FLY: It's a long-range effort from the Brazilian, who tests Ruddy with a powerful effort from range.
CORNER(S) CLEARED: Arsenal win another immediately after, but it comes to nothing and Norwich get the ball away.
ARSENAL HAVE A CORNER: Walcott's cross was blocked and it's chance for an equaliser.
VAN PERSIE PUTS IT WIDE! Oh dear, that sums up the last two minutes for Arsenal. The ball falls to the Dutchman, who inadvertently scuffs his shot wide.
A BOLT FROM THE BLUE: Arsenal certainly don't deserve that after the start they've had. An individual error has cost them.
GOAL! - Steve Morison 1 : 0 PER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! It's a horror show at the back. Tierney cracks a hopeful long ball over the top for Morison to run onto. The striker bustles past the German far too easily, and sweeps past Szczesny.
ARTETA GOES DOWN: The Spaniard wins a free-kick following an aerial battle. A sore head maybe, but he's fine.
RAMSEY LOOKS FOR GERVINHO: The Welshman controls a long ball from RvP and backheels towards the Ivorian - but the pass is poor and Ruddy gathers.
THIS WON'T STAY GOALLESS: It's no bold claim, but if there's no goals in this I'll eat my hat. If I had a hat, that is. Arsenal are looking strong going forward and Szczesny is yet to be tested.
WHAT A BLOCK! Russell Martin has just saved a certain goal with an incredible block on the line. Walcott cuts inside and curls one heading for the bottom corner - but Martin diverts. Brilliant defending.
SILLY FROM BARNETT: With the ball hoofed clear by Arteta and going nowhere, the defender pulls back Gervinho and Arsenal have a free-kick on the halfway line.
SZCZESNY GATHERS COMFORTABLY: Left-back Marc Tierney attempts a cross into the box, but it's a drifter and merely finds the hands of the Pole.
VAN PERSIE GOES CLOSE: That was a whisker way from finding the bottom corner. The ball sits up in the box for the striker, who lashes a powerful effort just wide of the mark.
KOSCIELNY STEPS IN: Steve Morison bursts forward with the home crowd willing him all the way - but the Frenchman cooly wins the ball back for Arsenal.
STRONG START FOR ARSENAL: That's two early attacks already. A confidence boost, no doubt.
WALCOTT SHOT IS BLOCKED: Gervinho robs Naughton and pulls the ball back for the winger, who sees his shot blocked for a corner. Set-piece comes to nothing.
VAN PERSIE SCUFFS WIDE: First chance of the game falls to the Dutchman. Theo Walcott is provider once more, but the striker can't quite divert his effort goal-bound.
BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON IN NORFOLK: The sun is shining, the Arsenal fans are singing - now to complete it with a win...
AND WE'RE OFF: Arsenal get us going at Carrow Road.
COME ON ARSENAL: That all-important fourth spot could be reached today with a big scoreline. But regardless, three points is what today is all about for Arsene Wenger's men.
CARROW ROAD PACKED OUT: 'On the Ball City' rings out around from the home faithful. It's believed to be the oldest football chant in existence. Apparently.
ARSENAL FANS IN GOOD SPIRITS: The pocket of Gunners in the corner will no doubt be their usual vocal selves here at Carrow Road this afternoon. Good from them.
AND HERE THEY COME: Robin van Persie leads the Gunners out once more, closely followed by the maverick that is Wojciech Szczesny.
PLAYERS ARE IN THE TUNNEL: Just over five minutes until kick-off here in Norfolk and the players are ready to arrive on pitch.
INTERESTING BATTLE ON THE LEFT: Well, our left. Andre Santos is a man well know for his attacking instincts. For Norwich, the young Kyle Naughton also has plenty in his locker going forward. The on-loan Spurs man proved a revelation on loan at Leicester last season, and is doing well once more at Carrow Road.

CAN ROBIN GO ON? It's eight goals in his last four Premier League matches for the Dutchman. Everything he touches seems to be going in at the moment - and you wouldn't bet against him continuing that this afternoon.
COMPLACENCY NOT ON THE CARDS: But, make no mistake, the Canaries are a side sitting ninth in the Premier League table. They've made an enjoyable start to life back in the top tier. Indeed, Wenger has hailed their 'dynamic football' this week.
NORWICH LOOKING LEAKY: The home side are yet to keep a clean sheet this season since their promotion from the Championship. Plus, they've shipped six goals in their last two matches.
BOSS WANTS FOCUS: Arsene Wenger has called for a winning return at Carrow Road this afternoon. His side were enjoying their football before the break - and long may that continue.
CAN ARSENAL MARCH ON? It's four straight Premier League victories for the Gunners up to this point - but what effect will the international break have had?
SUBSTITUTES: Rudd, Drury, Holt, Jackson, Surman, Bennett, Wilbraham.
NORWICH: Ruddy, Martin, Johnson, Morison, Crofts, Pilkington, Hoolahan, Fox, Barnett, Tierney, Naughton.
SUBSTITUTES: Fabianski, Djourou, Rosicky, Coquelin, Benayoun, Arshavin, Chamakh.
ARSENAL: Szczesny, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Andre Santos, Song, Ramsey, Arteta, Walcott, Gervinho, Van Persie.
TEAM NEWS: Per Mertesacker replaces the injured Carl Jenkinson, with Laurent Koscielny likely to feature at right-back.

4th of July Win and Nothing But Angels Fireworks Ever Since
Mariano Rivera gracefully bows out of the All-Star Game due to injury and fire balling rookie closer Jordan Walden is named to the AL team in Rivera's place, joining his equally deserving teammates Jered Weaver and Howie Kendrick. Yay! Peter Bourjos injures his hamstring. Oh no!! (Ouch! It didn't look season ending or anything but it sure looked painful.) And Angels #1 prospect, 19-year old Mike Trout gets called up from AA to take Bourjos' place for a few days. Yay!?! The Angels were only a game out of first. Yay! The Angels were tied for first. Yay!!! The Angels are a game out of first again. Eh. Wow, get busy and take a few days away from blogging and the whole world changes!
Well, as excited as I am about Trout debuting – and I wish him one heck of a great game tonight! – I understand this is a temporary move until Bourjos is back on his wing-shoed feet and I think that's probably for the best, unless he just takes off on a tear that is. Trout is 19, after all, and the outfield is really clicking the way it is. So while we wait for this excitement to unfold in a few moments, I'm going to wade back into blogging – after four days off, the horror! ;) – by posting my photos from the 4th of July game against the Tigers.
Yes, I went to the ballgame again. *big, huge grin* As I mentioned a few posts ago, I am in the middle of a borderline embarrassment of baseball riches in terms of game tickets right now. We have tickets to tomorrow's game and Dierks Bentley concert. And, no, Dierks is not the only one that wants to have some fun tonight…er…tomorrow night. And then, next weekend we will enjoy our Bay Area baseball extravaganza. Crazy fun!
Catcher Jeff Mathis and the evening's starter Joel Pineiro warm up in left field right in front of our seats. I am developing a wallet healthy love for the first row of the upper deck but nothing beats field seats, in my opinion, when you can find someone willing to part with them cheaply. This 4th of July, the stadium was packed, almost as packed as during the Freeway Series earlier in the weekend, and the fans were fantastic. We happened to be sitting near a lot of Tigers fans, all of them pretty cool. Most were on vacation but the couple in our row just moved to Southern California last week. Their new diehard Angels fan neighbor brought them to the game to welcome them to California and give them a taste of home at the same time. All three individuals were really, really nice and I adore their story. Now that's being neighborly:
Ah the dreaded, and ever hilarious rookie reliever backpacks! We caught the Tigers heading toward the pen at the beginning of the game but couldn't get a good shot of the Angels rookies until after the game. Apparently the Tigers prefer pink Hello Kitty for their small dose of rookie humiliation while they Angels go for the slightly more dignified blue. Hey, the Cookie Monster backpack Bobby Cassevah is sporting is actually pretty cool. And, yes, that is our All Star closer modeling the Tinkerbell backpack. Excellent sports all, really, and at least neither team played the Beiber card. I don't know why all of the baseball hazing traditions amuse me so, but they do:
Torii Hunter and Bobby Abreu greet Victor Martinez before the game begins. I like baseball players to be fiercely competitive once the game begins, but I enjoy seeing player fraternization before the game. I like the idea that a lot of the guys are friends outside of the game across team lines. And from what I have seen before Angels games Torii, Bobby and Erick Aybar have friends on every single team in the majors. Besides, aren't the truly competitive more apt to go all out when competing against friends than just random folks they know in passing?:
Like all MLB teams who played at home on Monday, the Angels had special extended pre-game festivities in honor of the 4th of July. I love spending the 4th at a baseball game. It's a wonderful celebration of so many of the things about our country that are great. Last year, after the 4th of July Angels game, my husband told me that was the most fun he had ever had on the 4th of July. And that says a lot because he's an Eagle Scout who spent a lot of great 4ths backpacking and kayaking in truly gorgeous parts of the country:
Joel Pineiro took the mound for the Angels and pitched a great game – one run on five hits and three walks. Pineiro only had one strike out, but the sinkerball appeared to be sinking which was a good sign. This has been tricky for Pineiro this season, largely because of injuries I feel. So less hits, less walks, no homeruns and only one run. Pineiro is definitely getting back on a good track:
Tigers pitcher Charlie Furbush takes the mound in his Major League debut. (And don't think I didn't giggle a little when I typed that. Sometimes I'm still 12.) Regardless of the score, Furbush showed promise. He was not easily flustered and he didn't make very many mistakes…the Angels were just able to take advantage of each mistake he did make, a nice change for a team so often baffled by debuting pitchers:
Torii Hunter "welcomes" Charlie Furbush to the big leagues, knocking a pitch into the bullpens for a one-run homerun. Vernon Wells also went yard in this game and the Angels offense was generally nice and present:
Goofy shenanigans in the Bullpen in the second inning. While I would love to know who said what that had Trevor Bell playing "hear no evil", that will never happen. So I will have to content myself with this wonderfully silly photo:
Peter Bourjos takes a deep lead off third as Erick Aybar takes a swing in the 3rd inning. This shot immediately preceded one of the odder occurrences of the game. The umps charged Furbush with a balk and awarded Bourjos home plate. Personally, I hate the balk call. I have no problem with pitchers being a little deceptive and think that the call is never enforced consistently among the umpires anyway. But, hey, we'll take the run. Bourjos was on a mission this inning. He had just stolen second and third easily and was bound and determined to score even without the balk call:
Mark Trumbo moves to catch the throw down in the 4th as Jhonny Peralta moves back to first base. Peralta was a little tricky for Pineiro, accounting for two of the five hits as well as, on this hit, the Tigers only RBI.
Peter Bourjos makes another great catch. What, can't you tell its Fleet Pete? ;) No, this isn't the highlight reel game changing catch in the 6th. That photo looks even worse. But it was another good catch. I am crossing my fingers and hoping Bourjos heals quickly and thoroughly because he is something to watch in center and his bat has been great lately too. No, the reason the photo is blurry isn't because Fleet Pete moves too fast…though I suppose that if I'd thought this through a little better I could have passed it off that way. ;) No, basically, getting good action shots from a distance with powerful zoom is a little like firing a rifle. You have to have excellent breathing control. In fact, again much like a rifle, it's best if you can hold your breath, hold your body perfectly still and lightly press the shutter button. I am pretty good at this for most plays, but when it comes to amazing catches and also double plays, I get way too excited to hold my breath and keep still:
Mark Trumbo successfully steals second in the 6th, sliding under second baseman Ryan Raburn's tag. Trumbo has joked in several interviews that he is "not as fast as the other kids" and he's not…when you're talking about Bourjos. But all jokes aside, Trumbo can move and he's a smart base runner:
Angels fans stand as reliever Michael Kohn goes for the final out of the game. See, Southern California fans can be passionate! We (or rather they, not my husband and certainly not I) may spend way too much time playing with stupid beach balls in the stands, but that doesn't mean we don't care. Kohn did a great job in a non-close situation, getting the last three outs while handily preventing the game from becoming a close situation. And, yes, the Kohn puns are pretty much boundless at the Big A. You Kohn do it! InKohnceivable! Koooooohhhhhhnnnnnnn! And so on. Seriously, fans have scores of them:
And, of course, what would 4th of July be without a heavy dose of simulated rockets' red glare? If the Angels had kept the fireworks show in the same location as last season's display, our seats would have been some of the best in the house. As it was we had the foul pole in the way, but the fireworks show was still pretty darned cool. This season the 4th wasn't a get away day for the Angels so the team, the office staff and their families were able to come sit out on the infield in front of the Angels dugout and enjoy the show with the fans. It sounds silly, but it was cute to catch a glimpse of our tough players just being "dad". I think it would have been disrespectful to take photos of that, especially for a blog. However, Seth took some great shots of the fireworks show itself and this was the best one:

I can't think of a better way to spend the 4th, than at a ballgame. Great pics as usual. I really like the one of Raburn and Trumbo. I remember Raburn arguing that call with the ump…Glad the Tigers fans represented with class, and that the new neighbors are comfortable in Cali. I hope Furbush works out for the Tigers, we need another starter in the worse way. Also, congrats on your June top 50!
'Minoring In Baseball'
Thanks Mike! Raburn did argue the call and it was close. Through my lens (and in the photo), Trumbo got his foot on the bag ahead of the tag. At least this game (other than the balk call maybe. Furbush halted his delivery early and reset, a rookie mistake, not an attemt to decieve, but whatever.) seemed relatively free of umpire gaffs, unlike the next game where Joe West and crew just had it in for Verlander and blatantly so in addition to blowing the call at first in our favor, or the Wednesday game where it was Chatwood's turn in the barrel.
Thank you for the congrats! Congrats to you too on your own Top 50 spot!

You've been to so many games this season! Jealous ;)
Love the rookie backpacks. I've never seen that before. I'm with you, there's something about a ballplayer sporting a Tinkerbell backpack that makes me giggle.
Catherine – Yeah, I am a baseball game addict and try to feed the cravings with at least one game a homestand…or more when I can find cheap tickets. I think every team has a goofy backback or similar rookie hazing tradition. If you look closely when the relievers head for the bullen at the beginning of the game or leave it at the end, you'll see them. A hot pick or bright yellow Miley Cyrus seemed to be the most popular choice last season. This season is Justin Beiber…though I've noticed a fair number of Dora the Eplorer and My Little Pony too. Stuff like that always cracks me up.

Happiest woman alive I received this ring as my engagement ring and it is beautiful. The only thing I would change is for the center to sit up a little higher. Other than that, I love it. I have asked my fiancé to buy the other band so it can take up most of my finger .

Consider quality & return policy before buying! I have been a loyal customer of Overstock for quite some years. I have purchased many things from clothes, accessories, to housewares etc. Recently my then fiancé , now husband purchased a bridal set for me and A wedding band ring for him. Although the price was reasonable, to our surprise the quality of the rings, the feel, and diamonds were not what we expected. Although he wears a size 10, his ring was too snug and felt rough around the edges. My ring on the other hand looked cheap...and the diamonds looked cloudy and not of great quality. We were to say the least very displeased and disappointed in our purchases. I have had years of shopping online with much satisfaction. If by chance I didn't like the product there were simple returns with pre-paid labels included in packages. I called Overstock and informed them that I was returning the rings. I was given an RMA number for both rings and told I would be responsible for shipping. I was also informed to include insurance & signature confirmation. I boxed the rings up and took them to the *** store where I was told because of the value of insurance it would cost me $**+. I was appalled to pay so much for some cheap looking jewelry to be returned! I have always experienced ease when returning products at other companies. Even the *** worker thought it was ridiculous. She said that Overstock was about the only company that does not provide a return shipping label! I never knew that!!! I will NEVER purchase anything from Overstock again.

Beautiful Ring!!!! My husband purchased this ring for me as an upgrade. Thank you babe!!!! I was apprehensive about purchasing an H-I, I2-I3 because of research I had done. Experts do not recommend purchasing this type of ring. Ive got to say every single diamond in this ring sparkles; it is way more beautiful than I expected (picture cannot capture its beauty). There was a mistake in my order ad I initially received the rose gold instead of the white that I had ordered. The rose gold is just as beautiful, the rose color really made the diamonds pop and compliments them rally well, I just have a preference for white gold but if you are thinking of getting the rose do not hesitate it is just as stunning. I am very happy with my ring. Also, it is HUGE!!!! Takes up my entire lower finger, Ive got to get used to that.

AWESOME This ring is an eye catcher! truely a bling bling ring.I had looked at this ring for months. when my husband one day surprised me with it. He must have noticed me drowling over the computer. LOL Because we had never purchaed diamonds on the internet before. I thought maybe I should have it looked at by a local jeweler. In which I did, not one but two local Jewelers, just to make sure. Both said yes it was a great ring and very high quality. Infact at both places I seen the same ring, but small version and they wanted just as much as we had purchasedd this ring for. Also a few days later I noticed thisa ring had went on sale. So I contacted Overstock right away. They issued me a 300.00 credit on overstock.com I would have rather they adjusted the price on our credit card. But oh well........my husband doesn't know so looks like I get another 300.00 to spend on myself on overstock.com!

BEAUTIFUL RING!! This is definitely the most beautiful ring I have ever laid eyes on. The picture gives no indication of exactly how beautiful it is. It is a very large ring and with the band on easily takes up the entire lower part of the finger. I was hesitant about ordering a ring on line, but since it could be returned, decided to go ahead. When the ring was delivered I was blown away by how beautiful it is. Out of curiosity, I took the ring to a local jeweler to have it appraised and I am happy to say it appraised for almost $2000 dollars more than we paid!!!

Best Price & Quality Overall this ring is a perfect 10! It is absolutely stunning and all my girlfriends drool over it. I ordered a 7 and it fits a little snug maybe a 1/2 extra would be more fitted but the photos do this ring no justice. It's just so much more stunning and beautiful in person. It is what I call a complete over the top eye catcher!! I'm completely in love with it and was at the best price for the Cts.

A proposal by state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, to bring real mandate relief to local governments is picking up support from his north country colleagues. Its more than just talk, Mr. Griffo said.
The bill would place a moratorium on mandates from the state until they are reviewed and would require any new mandates be paid for by the state. Mr. Griffo said the 2 percent property tax cap, enacted in 2011, was a step in the right direction, but local governments need mandate relief in order to stay solvent.
This idea puts forth a plan so people can understand and then follow it, Mr. Griffo said.
I absolutely support the bill, said Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River.
He said Assembly Republicans introduced similar legislation last year that failed to make it out of committee. We never did get a chance to vote on it, Mr. Blankenbush said.
This year, he said, he hopes to find a Democratic Assembly member willing to sponsor the bill. Most of the Republican conference will support it, Mr. Blankenbush said. We will have to work hard to find enough support for the bill on the Democratic side.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, said the bill could be funded at the expense of other important programs.
Its a very well-meaning piece of legislation, she said. My concern is that it might actually have a negative impact on our schools. If we pass this piece of legislation, the way to pay for it will be at the expense of foundation aid.
Mrs. Russell said she believes mandate relief must be done while ensuring funding for schools and local governments will not be cut.
She said she cannot support the bill without assurances that things like school foundation aid and aid to municipalities isnt going to be manipulated. Im not sure that anyone can provide those assurances.
In the Senate, however, Mr. Griffo already has found support. Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, said she will cosponsor the bill. Sen. Elizabeth OC. Little, R-Queensbury, said she would cosign.
This is an idea weve had for a long time, Mrs. Little said.
But she said it will take a lot of effort to get it through the Democrat-controlled Assembly.
We havent been able to get anything (like this bill) through there before, Mrs. Little said.

Home to the oldest, still active, School of Medicine in Europe, Montpellier is one of Europe's most popular university cities. With a youthful resident population, Montpellier manages to easily marry its historical landmarks with state-of-the-art innovation.
Montpellier's historical centre lies in the Ecusson district and has been preserved quite well - as you walk along the narrow winding streets, you'll feel as if you've taken a step back in time.
If you prefer a more contemporary feel, head to the Antigone district. This chic, modern district, designed by famed architect Ricardo Bofill, connects the Polygon shopping centre with Montpellier's main square, the Place de la Comédie. Thanks to the city's burgeoning student population, the Place de la Comédie is never empty. Lively during the day and vibrant at night, there's never a dull moment on the square.
Once you have seen enough of the city, venture outside the city walls for a day at the beach or take a tour around one of the vineyards of the Languedoc-Roussillon region.

Best news I've heard all month. Look forward to seeing the Touchpad living on with community support.
Phoronix: HP Open-Sources webOS & Enyo App Framework
Hewlett-Packard announced today what it will do with webOS, after announcing in August major changes would come to webOS and it would sell its PC business (later they changed their mind). HP hasn't changed their mind about webOS, but what they are going to do with it is quite good: Hewlett-Packard is open-sourcing webOS and its Enyo application framework...
Best news I've heard all month. Look forward to seeing the Touchpad living on with community support.
Great news. Hopefully it won't end like the Meego bullshit.
I actually like WebOS a lot.. It works quite well and I've grown very fond of it..
This is great news!!
Hopefully they don't kill it by choosing GPL.
With HP giving a reprieve to the TouchPad, maybe this will get people to consider the TouchPad as an alternative to the iPad...if HP plays its cards right as to pricing and the build quality. Opensourcing WebOS will ensure continuing support for the Touchpad in the event it gets killed off down the road.
inb4 Bada & Tizen phones ship with the WebOS UI and framework.

text: Speech by Brooks Hays Blue Ridge, North Carolina July 27, 1963 Conciliation – A New Factor in the South's Progress The south has advanced by almost every measurement. Once we were the stricken South – for war and poverty took their toll. Through nearly seventy-five years following the Civil War, both racial groups shared in the experience produced by poverty, illness, and poor schools; and when partial solutions were being discovered, grave inequalities made it impossible for all segments of Southern society to advance together. Rural whites along with both urban and rural Negroes failed to share equitably in the region's progress. More recently, relative poverty has affected the white population of the cities almost to the same extent as in rural areas. Courageous men and women, moved by a vision of a better life for the region, have continued to attack upon adversity. The negative sin of indifference to social wrongs has also become a target. The antidote for these wrongs is our idealism, and it has an outcropping in the church, in the colleges and schools, and in business and politics. The concept of a Solid South has generally been confined to politics. This, too, is changing. We do not need a provincial consciousness with distorted political expressions such as we had in the third party movements of 1948. Ancient shibboleths cannot unite the South, but a quickened conscience will help us invoke a spirit of unity in the

Other Information
My wife and I are very active in our church and feel called as Christians to live a simple and green lifestyle in order to be better stewards of God's creation. This simple lifestyle (I don't own a car and have bicycled to work daily for over 30 years) allows us to give generously to those in need around the world. Because I was born in Pakistan and have lived outside the United States for over 10 years, I consider myself a citizen of the world. This experience has provided me with a very different outlook on world events. It has also given me a passion to work with teachers and students not just in California, but around the globe.

As in, the risk of litigation due to using patented technologies without a license to do so? If so then we are indeed on the same page.Originally Posted by benmoran
Anyhow, one part of the argument seemed to me to be that software itself is inherently not patentable because it is akin to logical truth and not to invention. My previous post was in response to that.
Besides that, I see a lot of people complaining that the entities holding patents on IP are exercising control over that IP, by potentially not allowing whoever wants it to use it freely. As you say - I suppose there is a risk of litigation. But I don't see the problem.
As an individual, sure, I would absolutely *love* that video coding methods, filesystems (e.g. ZFS) and all else be free for me to use as I wish. But since these things were invented by other people, I must respect their right to control how these things are used.
Now, I don't like that patented technologies end up as standards which are effectively required in order to do my day-to-day computing/video/whatever. And this is the case with H264 and the newer OpenGL versions, among other things. I don't like that. But my complaint there is not - and cannot possibly be - with the concept of patents. It is with the standardising bodies which included these technologies in things which should have been left unencumbered.

So every couple of years my wife and I recognize that our veterinary practice needs a "shot in the arm", so to speak, in order to revitalize and refresh our business plan and… to keep our heads from popping off our necks.
This "shot-in-the-arm" usually comes in the form of what we call an upper-level staff retreat. Now, since we are the only two upper level staff, that usually means we go somewhere where we can relax for a bit and have some long, uninterrupted discussions and planning sessions without the day to day pressures and busy-ness of our normal routine intruding.
Last week, we had the amazing blessing of holding our "retreat" on the island of Kauai.
I gotta tell you, if you want to get away from it all, and if you want to remove yourself from the busy-ness of urban life, Kauai is definitely the place to go. It ain't called the Garden Isle for nothin' – sure the end of our trip had a little drama in the form of a tsunami warning and evacuation to higher ground and all but…we were still in Kauai.
Needless to say we were able to squeeze in some serious relaxation time between planning, reviewing schedules and goal setting for our business. However, as I have mentioned frequently in previous articles, I am hardly the personality type to "relax" by sitting next to some pool sipping pretty looking drinks with miniature paper umbrellas in them.
Rather, we relaxed by hiking and kayaking and swimming in flowing rivers and snorkeling over reefs and standing on the edge of immense canyons and crawling over ancient lava fields and going into caves and walking along mostly deserted, endless sandy beaches and whale watching and eating mounds of white rice covered with spam and fried eggs followed by shave ice and fresh papaya and…well, you get the picture.
The one thing we did not do was fish.
Now, I debated long and hard with myself about bringing one of my fly rods with me because I knew that of all the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai is THE island for both freshwater and saltwater flyfishing.
I also knew that there is a guide service on Kauai (www.bonefishkauai.com) that will take you out onto the flats for some bonefish flyfishing, which is supposed to rival that of the Florida Keys.
I was also acutely aware that Kauai is jam packed with Bass holding waters. Not just largemouth Bass but Smallmouths and ferocious Peacock Bass which are found in the more than 160 ponds, reservoirs, and holding basins as well as in portions of the nine rivers of the island. I also knew that Tom Christy is the guy to guide you if you want to go Bass fishing on the island (www.sportfishhawaii.com) though he does not guide specifically for fly-fishing and does not provide fly gear.
Yeah, I knew all that and more.
What I did not know was that we would kayak up rivers where massive, fly-ignorant Tilapia were lined up like salmon getting ready to return to their home waters.
Nor did I expect to see schools of two-foot long mullet hovering beneath bridges attacking every leaf that fell into the brackish waters.
Likewise, I did not anticipate snorkeling with barracuda and nervous schools of Jacks mere yards from the hotel beach.
Neither did I guess how my jaw would drop in amazement and how tears would well up in the corner of my eyes when I turned the corner and discovered the quantity and variety of fishing gear filling the sporting goods aisle of the local Wal-mart where my wife was busy clearing out the souvenir section.
Yeah, I left the fly rod at home but I still had a fishin' adventure. And you can bet that when we return to Kauai (and we will) I will have the fly rod and I will have the right assortment of flies and I will know where to go and how to fish that area and I will have made the proper contacts and…I will have a large wild Hawaiian double shave ice with ice cream and red beans to celebrate the peacock bass that I will catch and…well you get the picture.
I love this addiction called island flyfishin'.
