MERANO, Italy — A line of goats walked toward us, their bells ringing. A waterfall gurgled. The steeply pitched mountain farm angled down sharply below us. The goats headed downhill, then leaped over a stream through the grass, which looked like green velvet.
"Really?" Julia said, voicing our communal disbelief. "Really?"
Not that it looked real. In fact, the snow-dusted mountains towering over verdant meadows, the medieval castles and the riotous colors of flowers tumbling from Bavarian guest houses looked so perfect that my friend Amy, an artist who paints theater sets, took to claiming it was the work of a colleague.
That's what you see in South Tyrol (English), Alto Adige (Italian) or Sudtirol (German), all names for the same spectacular province on the south side of the Alps that was part of Austria until the end of World War I, when it became part of Italy.
What it seemed I didn't see were Americans — whether because it's an additional half-day's travel from the nearest airport or because it's simply off our travel radar.
Americans who do go are welcomed by some of the friendliest folks I've traveled among.
Those who don't are missing a walker's paradise.
If you wanted to create the best walking trip on Earth, you would come up with South Tyrol. In addition to scenery worthy of "The Sound of Music," the region is laced with a stupendous number and variety of trails for everyone from relaxed ramblers to expert rock climbers.
But it is ordinary walkers who are in the most amazing luck, because South Tyrol, which includes the craggy rock spires of the Dolomites, offers a rare dream: mountaineering-level trails that can be done by the nonmountaineer.
No climbing up mountains is necessary; you can be whisked up by funicular instead. No backpacking required; even if you want to do multiday hikes into backcountry, you can stay overnight in an alpine lodge and carry just a day pack.
And there are so many trails, many accessible from main roads serviced by the excellent SAD bus system, that you can pop into eye-popping scenery for just a few miles, then pop out and take a bus back to your home base for dinner.
Your biggest challenge will be choosing hikes. I tormented myself for months over the choices and still made last-minute changes during our trip.
For my three gal pals and myself — this is a safe and superb trip for women friends — I sought out the best of several kinds of walks. I can only imagine the ones we missed. But look at the ones we walked.
We strolled the roads around Tyrol Castle, the ancestral seat of Tyrolean counts, which loomed high above our lodgings in the spa town of Merano. The roads were lined with so many wildly fertile blackberries, hops, vineyards, fig trees and apple orchards that "we could just graze our way to the castle," Dianne remarked.
Another day, while the others were shopping in Merano — hey, shopping is walking too — I walked the famed Tappeinerweg, a lush promenade overlooking the medieval town and dotted with palm trees and scuttling lizards, courtesy of the city's Mediterranean microclimate. The path is so easy that people walk it with baby strollers.
But Merano was only our base. From there, we headed out for other hikes.
Being obsessed with cows wearing bells, I had to have an alpine farm walk. So one day we drove to the tiny hamlet of Pfelders and hiked up a hill beneath the shadow of snow-patched mountains.
We passed a farmer cinematically scything a field, and 45 minutes later were sitting at a farm walkers' hut eating apple strudel as cows grazed, their bells clanging.
We had to have a serious walk too. For that one I picked the Merano High Mountain Trail, a spectacular 62-mile trail through the mountains of the Texel Group Nature Park.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
GFF Blog
We're chained to our computers, thinking about fly fishing.
This blog is our outlet to keep our heads from exploding
Essential Edwards
|Published: Saturday May 26th 2012 (3 years ago)
Updated: Saturday May 26th 2012, 6:23AM
by Martin Joergensen
You can now enjoy Oliver Edwards' great videos, hang prints with his flies on the wall and even buy his patterns to fish with.
We have covered Oliver Edwards' book Flytyer's Masterclass the first time many years ago (17 actually!) when it was first published. An excellent book, which will teach you a lot of Oliver's techniques and help you tie his very realistically looking, yet very fishable flies.
The fly selection is pretty impressive with dozens of both dries and wets available, and some of Edwards' signature flies in the bunch like the Heptagenid nymph, the Hydropsyche larva and the POPA Caddis. It is of course not Edwards himself who has tied them, but the samples I have seen are very well tied, and do live up to the highest expectations. The prices aren't exactly low, but on the other hand very reasonable when the complexity and quality of the flies is considered. You can buy sets of flies, where a selection of 7-9 flies has been boxed.
If you want an Edwards on your wall there is also a number of fine art prints available, each with a selection of flies drawn in great detail, and nicely printed.

We'll have to see how the focus groups rank ... I think it's important to prioritize them and weight their responses. It's impossible to be all things to all people, and our first priority for any and all communications, it seems to me, is recruitment and retention.
Your suggestion is likely an accurate one, that parents have difficulty with the most straightforward navigation struuctures. It may be that students and prospective students favor a more complex structure than parents do. If that were the case, we'd need to factor in some weighting.
Parents, though, are probably fairly easy to get to if we're looking at parents of prospective students. We might be able to get them to participate together.

Most never forget their first car. Although some may not have been the most exotic or the fastest, there will always be something about vehicle number one. You are unchained. It offers the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want. Keith Wagner of Illinois is still the proud owner of his first car. Over the course of the last 24 years, this slick Chevelle has seen an evolution from mild grocery-getter to wild street/strip terror, and the changes keep coming.
In April of 1985, Keith was out scouring auctions and used car lots. After traveling hundreds of miles and searching everywhere, the quest came to an end when a '67 Chevelle appeared on the street two miles from his house with a "For Sale" sign on it. With 45,000 miles on the clock and a 283 under the hood, this granny-mobile was the perfect starter for Keith and the base for his life-long project.
Building and blowing up the 283 became common in those early days of ownership, and he took advantage of these opportunities to learn something new with each rebuild. The need for more power pushed Keith to build a bigger bullet, and a 350ci small-block was the next logical move.
"The 350 was going to be the race motor I was dreaming of," Keith explains. "Unfortunately it didn't like the runs at over 8,000 rpm that I enjoyed, and it soon went to the engine graveyard." The next step in the quest for more power found a 383 under the hood of the Chevelle. The addition of the stroker prompted Keith to upgrade the drivetrain in order to handle the newfound power. With a TH400 and a 12-bolt rearend under the car, the Chevelle lasted a season as a high 12-second street car.
As Keith's desire for more power grew, so did his need for more displacement, and the 383 soon gave way to a big-block. Three hundred and ninety-six inches of Chevy power soon took up residence in the engine bay of the Chevelle. Built to rev well above the 8,000 rpm zone, Keith backed the new heart and soul with an M-22 four-speed transmission, and blasted his way into the low 12s at the drag strip.
"I ran the car for a couple of years with that set-up," Keith tells us. "I was out with Ed Stoddard and we were talking about how to get fast revs and improve my car's performance." Sound familiar?
Soon after, the construction would start on a 427 with lightweight internals and a solid-roller drivetrain. The additions of a Tremec five-speed transmission and a 9-inch rear-end would also help Keith pilot his Chevelle well into the 11-second zone-a comfortable place for street and strip duty.
The next phase in the evolution of Keith's Chevelle found the A-body in Martin, Tennessee, for a full restoration. Steve Legend of Legend's Hot Rods, took 14 months to complete the overhaul of the Chevelle. "When the car returned, I raced it a few times, but it was done and I was bored," Keith adds.
It was his boredom that drove him to take the next leap in the name of extreme performance. A discussion with Stoddard and Jeff Schwartz sparked the need to build a street monster: A goal of 1,000 hp was set.

Call your cable company would be my first suggestion. They will need to test and verify your db at the modem. If you moved it you may have some loss, if they made a change at the pole you may have some loss.
If you are leasing it, regardless of how old it is, they should be replacing it or there should be no further charge on your bill for leasing your device.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 17:49
Posted 07 December 2012 - 17:56
'but since I own the modem now, they wont replace it for free."
So your NOT paying anything for the modem for on your bill then.. So its not like you leased it, you just bought it from them on a payment plan.
If they are still charging you a modem lease fee, then they should replace it with their current modem if there is something not working on yours.
If your modem is suppose to be docsis 3, but your only getting connected at docsis 2 - then seems more like an isp issue and not a modem issue. Purchasing your own docsis 3 modem would not fix an issue on their end.
Where exactly are you seeing your only connected via 2? Could you post what your seeing that makes you believe your only on docsis 2 vs 3?
I personally don't like the lease option on any sort of hardware - I will just buy my own thank you I have a SB6120 and have not had issue one with it, on comcast. But if they were just charging for it, and then stopped - that just sounds like some sort of rent to own thing, not a normal cable modem lease deal.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 18:36
How do you fix that?
Posted 07 December 2012 - 18:53
Leave the modem connected 24/7 and the exchange will slowly ramp the speed back up until it reaches your lines max speed you got within the initial 10 day line test at the beginning of your connection date
You can also call the ISP and ask them to reset the line and begin your 10 day line test again
Posted 07 December 2012 - 19:01
Well only when it gets flakey. otherwise, it's connected.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 19:02
Still, if you are rebooting the modem every day, its going to seem like there is a problem with the line
My modem hasn't been rebooted in months
Anyway, that's how it works here, so if you are getting a low connection sync, don't reboot it and see if it settles itself after a couple weeks
Posted 07 December 2012 - 23:08
I attached some screen shots. The only thing that says DOCSIS 2.0 is upstream apparently. Other than that stuff, I am not sure if anything is wrong

About Flos Lighting
FLOS was founded in 1962. The very same year Flos lighting began producing a number of lamps that were to become classics in Italian industrial design. From the very outset, Flos has been distinguished by its high quality approach to lamp design and production. Many of the numerous lamps designed for Flos are undoubtedly some of the best-known and most successful products of industrial design. They have won awards and historical-critical accolades, and are included in all the most important collections and design museums around the world. Some significant product examples over the last forty years are: Parentesi (1970), Brera (1992), Fucsia (1996), Rosy Angelis (1994), the Romeo Moon (1996), Archimoon (1998) series and the recent Diabolo (1998). Throughout the nineties the work of Achille Castiglioni and Philippe Starck has been flanked by a series of products from new and other designers. This reflects a desire to keep the attitude to discover the most talented designers to maintain Flos leadership in innovation.

This lamp is very nice and Lightology's customer service was top of the line. I would definitely recommend this pendant.

Accounting PrinciplesWritten on February 24, 2015 at 7:28 pm, by Johan Visagie
If each one involved in the process of accounting followed their own procedure, or no routine at all, there's be no way to really tell if an organization was worthwhile or not. The largest part companies go along what are called generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, as well as you can find huge tomes in libraries and also bookstores dedicated to simply this solitary matter. Unless a firm states otherwise, anybody reading a financial statement can make the assumption that company has used GAAP.
If GAAP aint the principles used for preparing financial statements, then a company must clarify which additional type of accounting they're used plus are sure to avoid using titles in its financial statements that can mislead those examining it.
GAAP are the gold standard for preparing financial statements. Not disclosing that it has used principles other than GAAP makes a company legally liable for any misleading or misunderstood data. These principles have been fine-tuned over decades and have effectively governed centurion accounting company methods and the financial reporting systems of businesses. Different principles have been established for different types of business entities, such for-profit and not-for-profit companies, governments and other enterprises.
GAAP are not cut and dried, however. They're guidelines and as such are often open to interpretation. Estimates have to be made at times, and they require good faith efforts towards accuracy. You've surely heard the phrase "creative accounting" and this is when a company pushes the envelope a little (or a lot) to make their business look more profitable than it might actually be. This is also called massaging the numbers. This can get out of control and quickly turn into accounting fraud, which is also called cooking the books. The results of these practices can be devastating and ruin hundreds and thousands of lives, as in the cases of Enron, Rite Aid and others.

Welcome to the second installment of our build series on the Project Unfair Camaro. The first article in Super Chevy last month focused on raising the floor, reducing weight, and lowering the center of gravity (COG). This month we will focus on moving weight to get a better weight balance. The typical iron small-block first-generation Camaro from the factory is about 56/44 percent front-to-rear. The total weight of a '67-69 Camaro is usually between 3,400-3,600 pounds depending on body style (coupe or convertible), engine type and options.
The biggest influence on front to rear weight balance is the engine/transmission combination, which makes up about 20 percent of the car's weight, all in front of the vehicle center point. The typical iron small-block and transmission package can easily weigh 800 pounds. We are using a lightweight all-aluminum LS engine and accessories. When you add up the weights of the original small-block fully dressed and the weight of the LS motor fully dressed, the LS engine is almost 150 pounds lighter. However, we are adding 75 pounds to our engine with a huge Kenne Bell supercharger so our net weight reduction is 75 pounds or so.
Still, 75 pounds is a lot of weight and that weight is all at the front of the car. However, moving that reduced weight 8 inches towards the rear makes a big difference in weight bias. We would like a weight balance of 50/50 or even a tiny bit of bias towards the rear. The sidebar provides all the engineering math and formulas for how much weight we moved and how much the F-to-R weight bias changed. To summarize, we moved about 60 pounds from the front of the Camaro to the rear by moving the engine and transmission 8 inches from the stock location. We also moved another 40 pounds (with us in the car) from the front to the rear by moving the seats back 4 inches. Thus, we moved 100 pounds from the front to the rear. As you'll see in the sidebar, the effect on weight bias is significant.
Also in this article, we set the engine and transmission height based on the subframe being installed with no body bushings. We already lowered the body over the floor 1.5 inches. Installing the Art Morrison subframe with no subframe bushings will lower the front an additional inch, giving the car a total of 2.5-inch front body drop and 1.5-inch rear body drop. This will give us a nice minimal rake without compromising suspension geometry.

Be very, very quiet LOL
The temperature here today is supposed to be 43 degrees not so warm when you have 30 mph winds.
I don't care what Punxsutawney Phil says by my calendar we still have six more weeks until Spring.
Happy Groundhog Day from Punxsutawney!
Phil Says Expect an Early Spring!
Phil's official forecast as read February 2nd, 2011, at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, PA:
Here Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye
Groundhog Day, February 2, 2011
Punxsutawney Phil was raised from his burrow
By the call of President Bill Deeley.
He greeted his handlers, Ben Hughes and John Griffiths.
After casting an inquisitive eye towards thousands of his faithful followers,
He proclaimed that the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl!
Back to the business at hand...
He surveyed his surroundings carefully and found that there was no shadow around,
So, an early spring it will be.

Voted Best on the Emerald Coast in 2014 for Women's Accessories, "Finest Women's Clothing" on the Emerald Coast by readers of Northwest Florida Daily News in 2013 and 2014, as well as "Best in Destin" by Destin Magazine in 2014, Barefoot Princess, a Lilly Pulitzer Signature Store, offers the largest selection of Lilly Pulitzer apparel, shoes and accessories, for ladies and children in the Destin area.
The Lilly Pulitzer Story
In 1959, Lilly Pulitzer, a 21-year-old opened a juice stand in the shadow of her husband's citrus grove. To mask the juice stains on her clothing, she had a sleeveless dress made from colorful-printed cotton.
Before long, Lilly found herself selling more dresses than juice. She founded Lilly Pulitzer, Inc. which now produces clothing and other such wares featuring bright, colorful, floral prints.
The "classic shift dress" shot to international fame and demand when Lilly's old schoolmate Jacqueline Kennedy née Bouvier, now the First Lady, was photographed wearing a "Lilly" while on vacation. "Jackie wore one of my dresses – it was made from kitchen curtain material – and people went crazy. They took off like zingo. Everybody loved them, and I went into the dress business." – Essentially Lilly, A Guide to Colorful Entertaining The Lilly Pulitzer team finds inspiration in their designs everywhere. From traveling to Palm Beach, visiting museums, strolling through gardens and spending days on the beach...the print team is constantly exploring and painting. "It is unheard of to have a team of artists on-hand...and that is exactly why we do it! We love our prints and treat them like royalty." – Lilly Pulitzer Design Team.

FORT WALTON BEACH - One team dominated from the start at Monday's Okaloosa County Track & Field Championships.
The other pulled out a thrilling victory, edging the second-place finisher by only two points.
Still, both the Fort Walton Beach boys track team and the Niceville girls squad walked away with one thing in common: They were both crowned county champions.
Click here to see see a slideshow from the meet.
In the day-long event held at Choctawhatchee High School, Fort Walton Beach's boys grabbed control early and never let up, using dominating performances in sprints and a strong showing in distance running to earn a 37-point victory.
On the girls' side, Niceville surged in the distance categories and won the final event of the day, the 4x400-meter relay, to earn an 84-82 win over second-place Choctaw.
"I would say the strength of our team is probably our depth," said Fort Walton Beach coach Lissette Moller-Fields. "We have talent in all 17 events. Today was a good win for us. When you talk about competing in an event like this, it becomes a matter of county pride, and our boys take that seriously."
As a team, Fort Walton Beach's boys won seven of the 17 events on Monday, and placed in the top three in 16 of 17.
A strong showing in the sprints got the day started for FWB, as Ryan McLeod captured first in the 100-meter dash while John Marvin placed second in the 100 and the 200.
Among individuals, Niceville's Nicholas Morken was the only runner to win two events, as he swept the 1,600 and 800-meter runs. His teammate, defending cross country state champ Thomas Howell, won the 3,200-meter run.
FWB won three of the five field events, as Brent Troop won the pole vault, Simon Johnson captured the triple jump and Dominick Wolf earned victory in the shot put. Fort Walton Beach's winning team total was 107.40 points, with Niceville's total of 70 good enough for second. Choctaw was third and Crestview fourth.
On the girls' side, Niceville's Eagles won six of 17 events and placed in 15. For Niceville head coach Tom Durrenberger, the chance to win a meet against Okaloosa County competition was rewarding.
"This is where our competition is," said Durrenberger. "We take it seriously as a team and these girls have a lot of pride. They wanted to come out here and have a good showing."
Two girls won multiple individual events on Monday. Two days after recording a triple-double in the Halifax All-Star Classic Basketball game to lead her team to a victory, Choctaw's Brittany Brown continued her stellar senior year with a sweep of the 100- and 200-meter dashes at county.
Brown was a full second better than second-place Aubrey West of Niceville in the 200-meter run.
In long distance running, Fort Walton Beach freshman Emma Rudman put her stamp on the county championships, winning the 1600-meter run over Niceville's Marsel Mosley before securing a six-second win in the 3,200-meter run.
Behind Niceville's team total of 84 and Choctaw's 82, FWB was third with 70 and Crestview fourth.
The junior varsity competitions were won by Crestview's girls and Fort Walton Beach's boys.

There's a certain stigma that goes with owning a four-door anything. It's not cool, it's not sporty, and it's the car your mom would normally drive. Wagons get their own, worse multi-door disrespect, leaving most more-doors to live out their lives as redheaded stepchildren to their two-door brothers.
Considering most cars today are four-doors, some capable of amazing feats of performance in stock trim (Cadillac CTS-V, CTS-V wagon, etc.), we don't see where it's written in stone they can't be as cool as coupes.
And here's the car that proves it. Dick Eytchison found his '65 four-door sedan while cruising through the Colorado country near Bayfield. The Artesian Turquoise Chevelle was amazingly straight, complete, and full of potential. Dick and his wife Karyn tried to buy the car that day, but to no avail. They left a note on the windshield and headed for home, already planning out what they'd do if the Chevelle ended up in their garage. Richard already had three other '65s (Chevelle SS, El Camino, and a rare Chevelle two-door wagon) so the four-door would be in good company.
After a patient wait and months of negotiating to finally acquire the car for the tidy sum of $3,000, it wasn't long before the sedan was being prepped for a fresh coat of Artesian Turquoise paint, and its pedestrian underpinnings were going in the trash. Having built several Chevelles before, Dick knew exactly where he wanted to go for the right parts to build a pro touring A-body. He called good friend John Hotchkis for everything needed.
For the front, Hotchkis' TVS suspension system is employed. The TVS kit has been specifically designed and tested to offer the best handling possible to a classic car with modern wheels and tires. The tubular upper and lower control arms give improved caster/camber rates that increase grip, while the included one-inch drop springs and Hotchkis tuned Bilstein shocks improve vehicle stance and control. A beefy 1-3/8-inch sway bar with billet mounts keeps body lean to a minimum. In the rear, the TVS system employs Hotchkis adjustable upper control arms and fully boxed lowers, two-inch lowering springs, Hotchkis tuned Bilstein shocks, and adjustable 1-1/4-inch Extreme Sport sway bar.
The beauty of the whole system, beyond it being tuned as a full front and rear package, is its bolt-on installation. No cutting of the factory frame or specialized mods are required. Your average DIY'er with a modicum of mechanical skill, a floor jack and jack stands could install this kit in a weekend and be enjoying better handling on the way to work Monday.
Combined with upgraded brakes (in this case, Baer calipers connected to a manual Wilwood master cylinder (see specs and driving review below), you have classic looks with modern road prowess. Definitely tough to beat.

The second largest continent on the planet is renowned for its many cultures and majestic wildlife. The grassy plains and wide open savannahs of eastern and southern Africa in particular host some of the most incredible wildlife displays on Earth, including vast herds of Zebra and Wildebeest, huge Nile Crocodiles lurking in the rivers that cross the plains, trumpeting herds of African Elephants, and powerful prides of Lions on the prowl. Taking a safari to national parks and protected areas of Africa is the best way to experience such incredible savage beauty. However, even if Africa does happen to be on the other side of the globe, you can pay homage to the wildlife of the savannah with the right selection of resin garden statues.
Start your display of African animals with Gigi the Garden Giraffe. Those funny, long-necked mammals rarely sit down but Gigi shows how they do it with realistic details. As with all of our realistic animal garden sculptures, this Giraffe statue is carefully painted by hand to demonstrate the same distinctive pattern as the Giraffes than stroll the African savannahs.
No African scene would be complete without Zebras, Lions, and Elephants. Cute little Zairen the Zebra makes a striking black and white patterned statement, the incredibly life-like Lioness with Cub statue shows a mother Lion carrying her young cub, and the Good Luck, Trunk Up Baby Elephant Statue is a very realistic depiction of a young Pachyderm.
Find the best in African animal garden statues and a wide assortment of high quality decor at Design Toscano today.

Kent Wainscott
Investigative, Political Reporter
Contact email@example.com
From local concerns to national campaigns, Kent has provided WISN 12 News viewers with coverage of important issues since 1988.
He has covered the political battles that put Wisconsin in the national spotlight, brought viewers in-depth interviews with many of the country's most high-profile political leaders, and twice conducted one-on-one interviews at the White House with the President of the United States. He has brought WISN 12 News viewers in-depth reporting of national political conventions, on the road with Presidential candidates, and in local communities with the issues that impact viewers in their own neighborhood.
In addition to political reporting, Kent's investigative reports have earned national honors including a Peabody Award, the Edward R. Murrow and Clarion Awards, as well as seven regional EMMYs and numerous honors from the Wisconsin Broadcasters' Association, the Milwaukee Press Club and others.
His reporting helped the WISN 12 News team to uncover a serious flaw in home smoke alarms, which proved ineffective in waking young children in a fire. The series of reports led to action by the smoke alarm industry and the federal government.
Kent's reports following the trail of lost Milwaukee manufacturing jobs to new factories in Mexico opened viewers' eyes to the dramatic shift occurring in the local economy. And his investigative reports into fire dangers associated with a dangerous type of home building material have been used as a training tool by scores of fire departments across the country, including New York and Chicago, as well as several departments across Europe and Canada.
For many years, as WISN 12's Action 12 reporter, Kent investigated consumer-related issues and helped viewers resolve their consumer troubles. His reporting also led to the passage of new state laws to better protect Wisconsin consumers.
Prior to joining the WISN 12 News team, Kent worked as a reporter at WDTN-TV in Dayton, Ohio from 1984-to-1988. He began his professional career as a reporter/anchor at WTWO-TV in Terre Haute, Ind., from 1980-to-1984.
Kent grew up in Des Plaines, Ill. He is a graduate of Northern Illinois University, with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.
Kent and his wife, Laura, have two daughters, Sarah and Megan.

Sumeet Dhillon (Newcastle United fan) says...
If Wenger was to leave in the summer, i think Klopp, Laudrup or Moyes should be approached, as they are proven, yet are either not at a top club or in the premier league. Also, Suarez or Bale for player of the year. And i personally don't think QPR will stay up no matter how good Harry is because some of the players are only motivated by money (i.e. Remy, biased of course as I'm a newcastle fan) and they will still be getting their pay cheques regardless of what league they are in next year and they don't seem to have the hunger to want to do well.

i'm not sure I believe the Myth surrounding Arsene Wenger and not spending Money ... I appreciate that he is not spending the amounts of the top clubs but i'm sure he paid a lot of money for Monreal, Giroud, Mertesaker, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla to name but a few

Josh A (Arsenal fan) says...
To Matt Cousins; are you actually serious? Bendtner was signed very young as he came through the academy. Djourou was in a similar situation. Chamakh came on a free. Santos wasn't a massive buy. The only ones I would consider 'big money' transfers are Arshavin, Gervinho and Giroud. And just so you know, without Arshavin, we would not have gotten into the Champions League that year. He should have been signing of the season. As for Giroud ; he has done well, considering it's his first season in the Premier League. Gervinho is really the only one on your 'list' that would get any attention. He has been inconsistent at best. How misinformed are you? Stop believing everything you read and hear...

Matt Cousins (Arsenal fan) says...
I am ashamed to say that I am an Arsenal fan. Kammy says that it is not the manager, but it is. Wenger has not spent any money in the past transfer windows, most notably the window just gone. He only got one player in January and he needed to sign more players. That was the perfect chance to strengthen. If Wenger does stay, he has to do one thing. Break the bank. We hear that they could possibly have around ż75m to spend in the sumer. Will Wenger use it? No he won't. Arsenal should not be boasting that they have ż123m in the bank. We haven't put that money to good use. Wenger in the transfer windows, he has bought some players that haven't worked out. These include Arshavin, Chamakh, Djourou, Giroud, Bendtner, Santos, Gervinho and many more. All of these players came for big money and big wages. Why are Arsenal paying these players that money if they are not playing? We need to have a manager who is not afraid to break the bank and knows what players would suit the club best. It's not like they wouldn't be given the time. When you work at Arsenal, you are given more than enough time. Just look at Wenger, Graham. All of these managers have been given the time and money to succeed. In my kind Jurgen Klopp or Michael Laudrup should be given the job. They know how to win trophies and where to strengthen. WENGER OUT!

Tony Burton (Liverpool fan) says...
If Wenger goes then I think they should go for Laudrup from Swansea.He plays the kind of football Arsenal like but I think he would add a little more steel to them and be more aware defensively aware.

Luke Davison (Liverpool fan) says...
Player of the year Suarez with RVP second Bale third Mata fourth and Michu fifth
Posted 16:35 4th March 2013
Jonny K (Arsenal fan) says...
Not too sure if Wenger out is the answer. i think Kammy is right, the problem is not with the manager, but the financial handicap we've inherited as a result of The Emirates move. Arsenal to spend serious money this summer on quality players, and Wenger to have one last attempt before his contract is up. There is no chance of Mourinho coming in, he wouldnt touch arsenal with their current tight restrictions on spending.
Posted 15:58 4th March 2013
Gary Stevens (Queens Park Rangers fan) says...
Wenger out - Mourinho in. Player of the year so far has to be Suarez with Mata a close second. QPR will stay up with Reading, Wigan and Villa dropping down. Arsenal will finish sixth with Spurs getting fourth and Everton fifth. And finally, and this is a long shot, QPR to finish top half of Prem next year...you heard it hear first!

Olivia Khamsombath Animation Major, Class of 2014 - "The most important thing I've learned as a student here is that nothing is perfect, nothing is precious," she says. "If something isn't working, just let it go. Keep trying to be a better artist. Keep drawing and drawing and drawing."
Brandon Strathmann, Assistant Professor - "When students graduate, they're fully prepared to enter the industry. Artists must both achieve mastery in one area and develop a range of marketable skills."
