We are happy to learn that the man Rayn- er, whom we had been informed had died in the hospital last week in consequence of wounds inflicted by the blacks, is not only not dead, but is likely to recover.
His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, accompanied by Capt. Montagu of the Cro- codile visited the Upper Clyde on his re- turn from his late tour to Hobart town, and though his stay was short he had the plea- sure of seeing most of the inhabitants of the thriving and industrious district, and had the satisfaction to hear divine service per- formed at Bothwell by the Rev. Mr. Gar- rett who preached a very eloquent discourse to a numerous congregation.
We regret to learn, that Black Tom, the native, who has for some time acted as a guide to Mr. Robertson's party, has abscond- ed from his companions and joined the in-
cursive tribes. Several of the out-stock huts about Swan port and Prosser's plains have been robbed, we fear, in consequence of being led on by him. One man who was pursued by them, saved himself by cross- ing the river, and succeeded in shooting a black in the very act of throwing his spear at
A curious circumstance happened at Mr. Blinkworth's, Jerusalem, the other day. A native tiger, as it is called, boldly entered his cottage, where his family was assembled, and seized one of the little children by the hair, but fortunately missed its bite. Mr.
Blinkworth who was confined to the house with a lame hand, alertly seized the animal by the tail and dashing it on the ground speedily killed it.
We have to add another item to the cata- logue of the deaths occasioned by drink. A young creature, a female not more than 17 years, of age passenger by the Eliza, was travelling in a cart over to Launceston to the service to which she was assigned, when she drank in a sort of frenzy a goblet of rum, in consequence of which she was soon after found suffocated, a lifeless corpse in
the cart. Mr. Charles Seal who has just returned
from Swan River has kindly presented as with some curious seeds from that neigh- bourhood. They are about the size of a large filbert, enclosed in a red pulp or apple, having a strong unctious smell. The plant on which they grow is said to resemble in appearance the pine apple, and the seeds are enclosed altogether in a very large seed vessel, or bag, along with a kind of marina or gum. Some of the new settlers at Swan River had incautiously eaten of them and were taken ill in consequence.
On Thursday, agreeably to the official
notification, The Venerable the Archdeacon delivered his charge in St. David's Church to the clergy of the island. The Rev. Dr. Brown, of St. John's church, Launceston, delivered the sermon, a most instructive and appropriate discourse. The service being
over the several clergymen. namely, the Rev. Mr. Bedford, the Rev. Mr. Garrard, of
Pittwater, the Rev. Mr. Robinson, of New Norfolk, the Rev. Mr. Knopwood, of Cla- rence plains, the Rev. Mr Norman, of Ho-
bart town, the Rev. P. Brown, of Laun- ceston, the Rev. Mr. Davies, just arrived per Wanstead, ranged themselves in front of
the Chancel.
The Archdeacon began by stating, that he had purposely deferred the delivery of his charge until this time, in order that he might have an opportunity of oberving and forming some judgment of the present state of the church in the island. We were pleas- ed to hear him state that he had found abun- dant satisfaction in the degree of moral and religious improvement which had of late years been effected. There was evidently an increased attendance on public worship in all parts of the island where it was celebra- ted, and the external observance of the ce- rimonies of religion was not unaccompanied it was to be hoped with genuine piety, and domestic devotion was becoming very gene- ral. Highly satisfactory however as these symptoms of improvement were, the Arch- deacon admonished the clergy not to encou- rage any spirit of self commendation on ac- count of the share they might have had in promoting them a spirit which would be improper, and inconsistent with that humi- lity and devotion which should especially characterise their calling, and distinguish them as followers of our divine master. He
particularly enjoined them, being but the feeble instruments, studiously to renounce
all claim to merit in themselves.
In the midst however of many gratifying circumstances we are yet surrounded by others of an adverse description. Many per- sons, the Venerable Pastor observed, are in a state of deplorable ignorance even of the leading truths of our faith. Many are un- happily distinguished by the practice of in- temperance. Their spot is not the spot of God's children—they are a perverse and a crooked generation.—(If the Archdeacon, from the short observation he can as yet have had amongst us, of the enormous evil of drunkenness, could speak in such strong and awful terms of its victims, what must be our sensations, and how closely must we not join in his denouncement, who are brought into daily and weekly contact with the rug- ged and crooked points of the insensate race, jutting as it were into our sides, and tearing our internal peace to pieces !) We must be compelled, continued he, to witness the bet- ter part of this land subjected to the domi- nion of sin and wickedness, unless we rise
with the exigencies of our situation. Those who put their hands to the plough must have their hearts also alive to the labour they are engaged in.
He particularly recommended the clergy to make frequent and regular circuits to the
remote parts of the island, where there nei- ther is, nor for many years is likely to be a clergyman stationed. If there were any point in which he was more desirous than another of leaving a persuasive influence be- hind him, it was this,—that in all the la- bours of the clergy they should lay the stress
of their motives as deduced immediately from the Gospel—should set the Saviour forth as the agent of salvation. For a Cler- gyman to succeed he must enjoy a commu- nity of feeling betwen himself and his hear- ers. He especially enlarged on the duty of family worship, as an integral part of reli- gion, and he again insisted on the necessity of visiting the remote parts of the interior, that they might enjoin and instruct settlers in a duty so essential to salvation. They must see that every household is supplied with the bible, prayer book, and a manual of Christian duties. Settlers he was convinced would hail their approach in making such visits with a hearty welcome.
He expressed his satisfaction at the late increase of members to the society for pro- moting Christian knowledge. In no part of the world so much as this, does there exist such necessity for the exertions of this socie- ty. To be successful, their labours must commence with the young. Wherever a
church is founded, there should be also a parochial school. The mechanical part must of course be carried on by the respective
teachers of these schools, but the spirit must be infused by the labours of the clergy— religion and uprightness must be chiefly in stilled by their endeavours. They must strive to instil a bias to what is good and amiable, so as to counteract the bad exam- ple too frequently held forth in this country by those to whom the children should natu- rally look up for the best elements of in- struction. The clergyman must see that every child committed to his charge is train- ed up with a reverence for religion and an abhorrence of every thing vicious. He re- commended the putting into the hands of learners a clear and brief summary of the most important truths of the gospel, accom-
panied with familiar explanations, and he en- forced with much effect the necessity of re- gular attendance at school before any essen-
tial benefit could be reasonably expected.
The whole charge was at once eloquent familiar and of a strictly useful and practi- cal nature. We regret extremely our utter inability to do it justice, for we are sensi- ble we could confer no greater benefit on our reader at large, than by making them familiar with every sentiment and expres- sions as it fell from his lips that day. We regret to learn, that he proposes to leave us
in the Crocodile on the 24th.
INTERIOR, April 12,1830.—As a pound- keeper I wish to know how to proceed in such a case as this, viz:— Certain cattle are sent to pound, upon advertising which and appointing the day of sale according to law, no person either comes to redeem or pur-
chase them, so that the cattle are still left in pound-pray what must I do with them? Will the police magistrate, take them and pay me the fees and keep, and you for ad- vertising; for by the law a poundkeeper can neither purchase directly nor indirectly. By the pound laws poundkeepers are obliged to insert in all advertisements of stock the amount of fees and keep for each animal per day, it would be of great service to the com- munity were you to, add a column to each, headed - Advertising each time £-, so that every one having stock in pound by looking into your paper could take a copy of their whole charges and if they find the animal not worth the expenses charged, with other expenses that they of course must be at in sending a man, or men and horses for it, tlhen it will be left with the poundkeeper, who perhaps cannot sell but must neverthe- less pay for the advertising, &c. In your Courier of the 10th inst. there is a paragraph which says-" As for instance, the pound age fees by the table on ten head of cattle at 6d. amount to 5s i while upon 11 at 4d. it is only 3s. Sd. ,If you will take the trou- ble to look over the table again you will find that if 20 head of cattle are sent to pound the one half will be charged at 6d per head, and the next ten at 4d. This I take to be the line meaning of the table, as it says, for
the FIRST ten 6d. and for the NEXT TEN 4d. ; but perhaps you will take the trouble to inquire into and give us the proper mean ing of this table.
(The intention of the table of fees is no doubt what our correspondent means, but had the wording been perfectly intelligible neither we nor many of our readers would have misunderstood it. The fact as we take it is, that lawyers being more used to the inditing of prolix legal sections and pream- ble, are a little out of their element in draw- ing out an abridged table of fees. Many of
our readers' understood the established char
ges to be 6d each, if 10 were impounded 5s. fourpence each if from 10 to 20, as. 6s. 8d. for 20-and 3d. each from 20 to 30, or 7s. Gd for 30 head. But the act means as our coneapoivlent slates-tints, if 30 »«attie be impounded the charge will be for ihe hist len head Gd each, or 5s. ; the next ten at 4d. each, 3s. 4d ; sjtid the next or third IO at 3d. each, or 2s. Gd , that is in ali for the 30 bead 10s lOd. reckoning a separate rate of char- ges for each successive ten»
The printing of tli3 price of impounding advertisements at thevhead,of each, would occasion more trouble and expense than our correspondent is. aware of, and would be- sides, in our case, be needless, as-a brief in- spection of our rate pf charges almost inva- riably inserted .at the bottom of the last page will readily shew the amount of charge ir j forevery advertisement in the paper.)
Though . the act enjoins the iuscrtion of ¡y j the amount' of damage claimed, we tio not te j conceive that the legislature intended that i- ¡ the fees and charges for footl and water a being fixed rates should be inserted inadver
y tisemeuts, tncreby materiallyadding to their¡ n length, and consequently the expense. ! ï- To the,question which has been repeated i- ly put to as, whether there be any charge >s for damage.<loae hy cattle«grazing on uncu
kclosed pasture ground, (agreeably to a fal« jgoveriiment outer, w hich, if wc iccollcct f richi, fixed the tiespass at Is. per head for cattle), we should answer no, foi mer ens*

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SWAN RIVER.-" Cuvier in his theory of the earth quotes New Holland as a recent formation, and treats particularly of the sand with which we are deluged. His account is per- fectly correct; -Some good land is found on the banks of rivers, deposits from them, but in very small quantities. Behind this the Darling range of hills shuts up the scene within 7 miles of the river. The ground notwithstanding its sandy nature, (which is so loose as to run through our fingers in taking up a handful) supports a luxuriant vegetation, and magnificent and very useful timber, about 7 miles from the sea.
Every attempt at making a garden has I believe hitherto failed, but I am informed that new land will not bear at the first at kempt. Of course, the sensations that many settlers experience, on their first arrival, are of the most painful nature, and they uni- formly speak of leaving for Van Diemen's land. But there are many who have seen
New South Wales that encourage their stay by an assurance that the land is no better in many fruitful parts of that country. Upon the whole the colony may be considered a wonderful instance of the richness and pow- er of the mother country. In six months the population has risen to about 2000 souls! The property upon which land is claimed, imported into the Colony, exceeds £500,000, specie not included. The ope rations of commerce are carried ou with
great spirit for cash, and I believe all the
vessels that have come here have made a good sale. We have numerous large sales
by auction here, one this day of the cattle and cargo of the Thames from Hobart Town. Our merchants advance money to Govern- ment when required. A bank is talked of, -we have one newspaper, -a literary insti- tution,-one tolerable hotel, and many grog houses We have magistrates and consta- bles, but no civil law until our charter comes out. But we have a tolerably moral popu- lation, and credit to a great talent is given by the merchants, without fear of the neces-
sity of recovery in courts of law. Mutton and beef are about Is. a lb., bie.nl 8n, butter Is. Gd., salt beef and poik 1 od., cheese is. 2d , candle».2s, oil <Js 'st gallon,
clothes yery cheap, rum 7*., brandy 81.u Geneva 7». a gallon, (no' duties aie, ((.vieil) porter £8 a hhd. is. od.,aJ>otlle, wine,4-v. a bottle, labourer's wages Gs. a, »lay, mecha- nics ,9s. to 12s.
In this state of things the settler lives in hopes and fears, doubts and perplexities,
but all confidence is placed in the newly discovered lands, to which a force has been
sent with a commandant to the southward.
I have no doubt that an important colony , has been formed to strengthen the power of our counriy and to the advantage of the world at large from its peculiar situation, and that
it will graze cattle we have had excellent proof, even in the summer season, so that insures its continuance as a colony.
Rutland parish, Clyde district, April 11. —A small body of natives passed yesterday at the back of Brady's sugar-loaf, towards Davies's bottoms. Three men followed them as far as Michael Howe's marsh, where their fires and some pieces of kangaroo were found, but the blacks were gone and they could not be tracked beyond that marsh.
York plains, April 13.—About 20 of the Aborigines crossed Albany vale yesterday forenoon, between St. Peter's pass and Oat- lands. They came from the direction of Michael Howe's marsh, and went towards Gullivers lagoon. Their course being nearly due east, I think they are gone to Little
Swan port.
They did not show themselves on the open plain, but plunged into the scrub be- tween Albany vale and Gullivers lagoon.
It is evident that the mob seen in Portland parish, and traced to Michael Howe's marsh, were the same natives that afterwards passed through Albany vale.
It may not be known to many of our na- tive youths, proverbially of tall and elegant stature, that there is a celebrated, we mean a notorious, club in Edinburgh, called the ' Six feet Club,' because no man is admitted a member unless he be 6 feet high. Though we do not at present know a single native of this island of the age of 18 or 20 years that would not be eligible to such a society, we venture to occupy a few lines of our journal to express our disgust at the principle on which this association in modern Athens is formed, and this we make bold to do, a although the great Sir W Scott was chair- man at the last anniversary dinner in Decem ber. On that occasion, Professor Wilson, the real Blackwood, could not be admitted a member because he stands only 5 feet 11. We regret that any literary or amiable man, especially of such transcendent distinction as Sir W, Scott should belong to such a club. In proposing the health of Mr. J. G. Lockhart, Professor Wilson exultingingly
asked where was the Scotchman who did not feel proud of that gentlemen? For ourselves, (as much of us that is to say as is Scotch, belonging as we do alike to all the 3 kingdoms and every British colony, but especially to the Austraiasiatic), we are ashamed of Lockhart on account of thelarge
share he has had in the low ribaldry, and ill-bred offensive stuff of Blackwood's Ma- gazine, but more than all, for the part he performed on the occasion of the death,
never til be fiugotlcn, of poor John Stott, IiH once formidable rival. ' - r ~
The last number of the Edinburgh Re- view is the fiist under the management of its new editor Mr. Macvey Napier, who has succeeded Mr Jeffrey, the latter having con- ducted it until, now'from the period of its commencement,' 27 years ago. Mr. Jef- frey's other avocations had latterly led him to neglect in some measure this great work, and for some years it has been both dull and heavy. The piesent number is however more lively"and varied, though still deficient of tlie fire and genius that [distinguished this Review at its commencement. In reviewing Mr. AuldjoVintciesting narrative of his as- cent to the summit of Mont Blanc, Mr. Napier takes upon himself the task of chas- tising such tiavcller? as Mr. Auldjo, who ."xpose themselves and their guides to dan- ger for the sake, as lie says, *' of vanity and idle curiosity-wealthy and pampeicd Eng- lishmen, who like the King »if Trance pud his twenty thousand men went up the 'hill
and then'went down again." But a little îe fieclion and moie eli a "tened experience will, I trust, teach Mr. Napier not too ia«>hly to hazard such self-sufficient, eironeons re- malles chaiacleuslic of Blackwood and the

The circumstances connected with the escape of these wretched creatures are in themselves so remark able that we deem It right to publish them as a warn- ing to those yet remaining al that settlement.
Three of the prisoners stripped themselves on tin island at Macquarie harbour left their clothes on the beach, and succeeded by swimming in reaching the opposite shore in a state of complete nudity, where they found the fourth on the main land, who on agree ing to join them in their flight, parted his garments among them. These with an old axe, and a fire stick completed their wretched equipment, and without a morsel of food, they set out in quest of the inhabited districts. After 22 days painful suffering, they de- scried Mr. Curr riding on the confines of the estsb (ishment. So exhausted were. they, that though for the latter days of their journey, they had been able to iravil only at the rate of 2 miles, a day. they could scarcely shout loud enough to attract his attention.

Does your house have a 120+ kW feed from the utilities? Typical houses have 240V 100A service... that is only good for 20 kW if dedicated to car charging.
Yup. Call up your utility and ask for that size feed. See what they say. Then call an electician for an installation quote. See what they say. Then you'll have your answer.
Is a HPWC not fast enough for your everyday needs @ 60 miles of range per hour of charge?
Seems like a bad idea due to the utility factor of the neighborhood transformer. And, if you dont drive 200+ miles a day and have only one hour to turn around do it again (a taxi service owner, perhaps) then HPWC seems appropriate for most people. 30-40A charging is probably fine for most people.
As a technology a lite-version for SC should be rather cheap. It's basically just stack of on-board chargers. 120kW is 12 of those. Maybe Tesla could offer a lite-version for just taxi services or similar that needs fast charging, but not quite SC -level. Normal household would not need that.
Elon recently said the hardware for one unit was $15K or less.
If a taxi service wanted to buy a fleet of Tesla Model S cars for their business' use, I can 100% guarantee Tesla Motors would work with them to install a Supercharger at their location, at the expense of the taxi service. They would probably even do it for cost, since it would be a great source of PR for them.
For the regular home user, I rather doubt anyone would be willing to fork over the $50k or so it would take to have a transformer installed in their house (if their local zoning even allowed it) just so they could charge slightly quicker than a HPWC.
A pair of SC spots (1A/1B sharing a 120kW) could make a lot of sense in the garage in larger blocks of flats etc. though. A single house owner would have trouble justifying (to himself and to the electric company) why he should have a 120kW feed but if 10+ band together to get one then that is different.
They would all charge off their regular 10kW outlets (or whatever) normally, and then only use an SC spot when in a hurry. Ought to cover all eventualities.
Yes, the question of need is central: Who needs fast turnaround? Taxis, and l.d. travellers. Not home users.
In the domestic setting there is the occasional need for very fast charging, e.g. when someone returns with the car from a long trip and someone else in the household needs it immediately also for a long trip. Another example is when you get someone dropping by from far off who needs to leave again within the hour for a long distance.
The fundamental reason this can happen is that Tesla's super chargers are ~200km from the big cities and so depending on where you're going you may find yourself in the city with very little battery capacity remaining.
Having access to a private super charger could also be very convenient in allowing you to bypass the last super charger stop on your way to the city, entering the city with low charge and yet still be able to quickly top up there to get back to the super charger ~200km away on your return trip. This gives you +20 minutes in the city to do whatever it is you're doing there before you leave again.
I think people who are not happy with 95% coverage over all eventualities should just forget about buying an electric car.
You are too demanding and too picky.
Unless you are a billionaire and money is no object sure put a supercharger in your garage. But you will find out very quickly that it was a stupendous waste of money when a 240v outlet is more than enough for most.
Wait a few years anyway...more solutions will present themselves. The EV ship is only just leaving the dock.
How about people that don't have garage? Common problem for city dwellers. Over 50% of earth population lives in cities and those need to charge too. Couple of private SC-lite in a block of flats could be helpful for solving that problem.
I find this a major problem for real breakthrough for BEV:s: there are a lot more households (and cars) in cities than there are garages. Current situation isn't even close to 95% coverage over all eventualities. For example in my block of flats there are five garages and over 100 households. There are a lot more parking spaces than there are garages, so sacrificing one or two for private apartment SC-lite would solve charging problem nearly completely. You would need to charge there only every now and then, or just for few minutes to top off your current charge. If it costs only $15k of hardware that's peanuts for apartment building maintenance budged.
If Tesla's competition continues being conspicuously absent from the EV scene I can see "garage has Tesla super charger" as a real selling point for high-end apartment complexes.
Unless everyone in that block of flats has a Tesla, a Supercharger would be useless. Other EVs will not be able to charge using a Supercharger station.
That's their loss. Tesla is only one making progress in that area, if others don't jump in in that bandwagon soon, only Tesla SC matters, and others are forced to design their cars to use Tesla SC.
Design? You mean "license". Elon has openly offered that.
Using licensed tech requires design choices.
Can't the super charges be installed in Petrol pumps?. They are already connected to the grid always and would also offer coverage. Petrol pump can charge the user some amount for using their super charger.
480V power supplies and Petrol pumps need a certain separation!
The gas stations are generally unattractive, but IAC not somewhere MS owners like to go by choice. OTOH, air pumps and windshield squeegies ...
There is a rumor that there is a secret San Diego Supercharger going in to someone's home
Now it's just a rumor, and I highly doubt it's true (there haven't been any electrical permits to back up the rumor). But, it would be really, really funny if it was true.
I'm actually really interested in a home supercharger, but running from a generator. Specifically, a n appropriately sized natural gas generator. Fire it up, charge for 40 minutes, it shuts down on a timer. The genset also can double to provide backup power to the home via a simple backup switch. And the best feature of all is that natural gas is far cheaper per kWh than grid electricity.
Interesting idea. Can it deliver 200 kW?
You can buy commerical NG generators 150 kW for $30k... just make sure you schedule the crane for delivery... it weighs over a ton.
How frequent would you need to supercharge at home ? If once or twice a day will suffice then here is an idea :
Get a battery similar to that in the Tesla. Or lets just say 100kWh to get round numbers.
An 85 kWh replacement battery for the Tesla should be about $12000 (source somewhere in here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S)
Just to give you an idea of the costs.
Since that battery will just be sitting in your basement or in you shed, it can charge continously with 10kW or what ever you have at your house. A full charge will then take about 10 hours and when you get home from work and need to supercharge you can move 60-80 kWh within half an hour or so. - Only limited by electronics and charge and discharge rates of the (Tesla) batterytechnology. Then it will ofcourse be another 8-10 hours before you can do another full supercharge. I might consider that myself.
Just a thought.
Regards Jacob
Needless to say that the same battery could be used for electric back up of the entire household. And for storing what ever you might have of private windmill or solarcell input. But if the primary use is for supercharging en EV - you need to have at least some charge at all times.
@jensjacob - This is already available...
Great. So it is indeed possible to have supercharging capabilities at home. At a reasonable cost. All you need is a battery, a converter and a cable, all appropriately sized of course.
Cheaper idea;
Buy another Model to be charging with an HPWC while you are driving. It will be ready to go when you get home.
Besides you already have Supercharger technology at your house. The basic charging unit for a Supercharger is simply the onboard charger. You even have the option to buy 2 of them if you want to use the HPWC to charge faster. A supercharger just has 12 of them while you only have one or two.
Yeah pretty sure you need at least 3-phase 480v / 400A service to your house (nobody has more than 2-phase 240v unless you live on a compound or at a commercial property). I'm assuming the Superchargers are 3-phase, and at 480v service, would require 250A to hit 120kW.
Depends where you live. In here three-phase 400V is quite common, pretty much every detached house has it. Not 400A though.

Jamie Oliver - Taking On Obese America?
I'm sure you have all seen the commercials for his new show on ABC, where he takes on the fattest city in America, in an attempt to help them become healthier. What do you guys think of this? Do you think we need more programs like this? He already has several great programs in the UK that seem to be working well. I personally feel that the more help the better. A lot of people are unhealthy simple because they are uneducated about food.

Arsenal must decide whether to cash in on wantaway striker Robin van Persie after the captain insisted he had to leave the Emirates Stadium to win trophies.
Holland international Van Persie last night issued a carefully-worded statement on his official website revealing he would not be penning an extension to his current deal with the Gunners, which expires next summer.
The 28-year-old netted 37 goals in all competitions as Arsenal eventually secured third place, and manager Arsene Wenger recently declared the club must retain their talisman "at all costs".
However, despite meeting with Wenger and chief executive Ivan Gazidis at the end of last season and the signings of Germany striker Lukas Podolski as well as France forward Olivier Giroud, Van Persie remains unconvinced he can fulfil his ambitions with the club he joined as a raw talent from Feyenoord in May 2004.
Van Persie will turn 29 in August, and the next contract he agrees could well be his last at the highest level.
Both Serie A winners Juventus and Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City are said to be ready to test Arsenal's resolve with £20million-plus bids.
However, the Gunners - who last summer saw both Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri sold - could also look to hold Van Persie to the terms of his deal.
A brief statement on the club's official website read: "Robin has one year to run on his current contract and we are confident that he will fulfil his commitments to the club.
"We have to respect Robin's decision not to renew his contract.
"We are planning with ambition and confidence for next season with Arsenal's best interests in mind."
Arsenal are set to tour Asia at the end of the month, and will also play a game in Nigeria.
Whether or not their captain will now be part of the travelling squad remains to be seen.
Van Persie, though, made it perfectly clear disagreements over the direction of the club means he does not want any part of Arsenal's long-term future.
In an open letter to fans on his website he wrote: "I've thought long and hard about it, but I have decided not to extend my contract.
"As announced earlier this year I had a meeting with the boss and Mr Gazidis after the season. This was a meeting about the club's future strategy and their policy.
"Out of my huge respect for Mr Wenger, the players and the fans I don't want to go into any details, but unfortunately in this meeting it has again become clear to me that we in many aspects disagree on the way Arsenal should move forward."
The Dutchman maintained he would always "love" Arsenal, where he had "become a man", but insisted a fresh start was needed to fulfil his own ambitions.
"Financial terms or a contract have not been discussed, since that is not my priority at all," said Van Persie, who would be offered huge wages in the region of £200,000 per week at City.
"I personally have had a great season but my goal has been to win trophies with the team and to bring the club back to its glory days."

Well after dealing with the winds and damage from Irene, and the flooding of Lee, this past weekend we finally got our last state shoot in. Our PFATA(PA affiliate of the NFAA) shoot was held Sunday at York & Adams Archery Club. Having only shot about 3 times since Aug 21st, I figured my conditioning would be down. It was a little, but I managed to pull of another state championship with my Elite Tour. The bow performed awesome having sat for quite a while. Shot a 551 on the F/H round and 7 up on the animal round...started to run out of gas. That's 3/6 state titles having switched to Elite since February, with a 2nd, 3rd, and an 11th in the other state events. Also a 1st in a F/H money shoot that draws a few pros to the shoot. Now that outdoors is over, I can't wait to set up another Tour(hopefully) for indoors and start to prepare for next years major shoots!! Thanks again Elite for such great products, and hope the future is even better!!!

Southern California: Volunteer foster homes badly needed to end self-imposed suspension.
Back in August 2013, the Southland rescue group Kitty Devore Rescue Network (KD) was facing serious challenges due to a shortage of foster volunteers. The process of saving cats from certain death at San Bernardino County's Devore shelter is a multifaceted one, and involves many steps. It requires serious, dedicated commitment on behalf of all participants.
As KD administrator Renee Mc Elwee emphasizes, removing cats and kittens from Devore with sometimes only moments remaining before euthanasia is only the beginning of an important and necessary process. To reach the ultimate goal of adoption into loving homes, typically the animals must be fostered, the crucial, necessary and important middle step in which kittens and cats are temporarily housed and brought into a safe, healthy and stable condition so that they will be desirable for adoption by the general public.
Once again, however, the rescuers have fallen upon difficult circumstances—a shortage of volunteer fosters. When this happens, KD self-imposes a suspension upon rescue activities from the Devore shelter, until replacement fosters for displaced kittens and cats can be found.
For the past several months, KD's website has made mention of this dilemma, keeping daily count of how many cats need to find secondary fosters, This number has fluctuated from as few as 4 to 5 to as many as 12 or 13.
December 2013 was a month in which many potentially adoptable and friendly kittens and cats were euthanized, because KD's hands were tied, and because the shelter at Devore is underfunded and understaffed, and can only accommodate so many animals at one time.
As of today, January 12, there are still 7 cats in need of new/replacement foster homes, and KD's self-imposed suspension continues. Without replacement or new fosters, the suspension continues indefinitely, and the needless death of perfectly adoptable kittens and cats will go on, unchecked.
This is an opportunity open to the general public, and will result in more kittens and cats being saved from certain death at Devore—a long term win/win for all. Since KD's inception a few years ago, the death rate at Devore has dramatically decreased, something its co-founders and members work tirelessly to maintain.
KD provides every member (and to date, there are over 180 total) and potential fosterer/adopters with full support and guidance, including KD's own Fostering Handbook to answer and assist with the full gamut of issues including behavior modification, socialization, and medical requirements. KD also reimburses for expenses, and has a Petfinder account and website featuring all of their adoptables. KD also has in-store adoption venues and participates in the larger Pet Expo events with their foster kittens and cats to help them gain exposure and find permanent homes. KD also provides a starter kit with some essential medicines which might be needed by new fosters.
Kitty Devore is a non-profit organization certified by the state of California, and all donations/contributions are tax-deductible. To inquire further about this, and fostering/adoption procedures, please visit http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kittydevore.com%2F&h=LA....

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has demonstrated yet again that he can bust a move.
At a Saturday night event in the Hamptons, the potential 2016 presidential candidate got involved in an "energetic dance" with actor Jamie Foxx, the New York Post reported Sunday night.
After performances by Gladys Knight, Jon Bon Jovi, Sting and Pharrell Williams, Foxx reportedly called out to Christie in the audience, "I know you've got a dance in you, Chris Christie."
The resulting performance — which the Post described as "rambunctious gyrating" — was captured on video:
Here's a GIF of one of Christie's moves:
This was not the first time Christie has displayed his dancing skills, however. In June, Christie showed off a number of moves when he appeared on the "Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon:

Great Lakes Dopplerock
Doppelrock is a beer that I had heard about but had never actually seen in the store. The 4-pack I picked up happened to be the very last one on the shelf, so I didn't hesitate to grab it. I've been a big fan of Great Lakes for a while, so I was quite eager to give this brew a try.
Doppelrock is a doppelbock beer, which, for anyone who may be aware, basically means this is a very dark, malty lager beer. It pours a very dark brown, copper color with about two fingers of creamy, off-white head. Head retention and lacing are fair to good and there is good bit of carbonation in this beer. The aroma is rich with dark bread malts and hint of caramel. It smells quite sweet, and I may have detected a bit of fruitiness (cherries, perhaps).
Doppelrock is a fitting name for this beer because it rocks. The most prominent flavor is the rich bread malts, but I also noticed some chocolate malts as well. Along with the malts, there is also a bit a caramel, and those cherries from the aroma sneak in there, too. It is sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. On the finish, there is very little hops flavor, but there is a bit a sting from the alcohol that lingers on the tongue.
I have not had too many doppelbocks, but I'm certainly a fan of the style. After trying Doppelrock, I'm going to seek out some others for sure. Let me know if you have any suggestions. This is the first time I've ever seen this particular brew in a store, and since I'm not sure when or where I will be able to get it again, I plan to savor the couple I have left!

July 31 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuela's national tax authority Seniat today ordered a three-day shutdown of 89 McDonald's restaurants across the country on the grounds of inadequate bookkeeping, the agency said in an e-mailed statement without providing additional information.
The closed McDonald's franchises are operated by Cia. Operativa de Alimentos COR CA, Caracas-based El Mundo newspaper reported today on its website. Another 51 McDonald's restaurants in Venezuela were not affected because they are operated by other franchises, the Caracas-based newspaper reported.

The Consequences of having it All
I don't think the question is, "Can women have it all?" I think the question is, "Will I know it and appreciate it when I have it all?"

Will Chore Wars Save Your Relationship?
It doesn't really matter in a marriage who does what, but how one feels about what they do is everything. When I talk to couples about getting married this is one area most of them haven't discussed or thought about. When it is first mentioned the guy looks at me and says, "We are going to share EVERYTHING." I want to believe him, I really do, but the statistics will not support him. If you want a happy contented relationship, talk about who does what prior to someone getting angry. If you aren't doing your fair share, step up to the plate. The guys who pitch in the most, and do their fair share, have more time to enjoy intimacy. Their wife is usually happier and more receptive as well. This article helps you plan who will do what.

Conor McManus is a vibrant 9-year-old boy who has a lot more to deal with than most children his age. Since he was 4 months old, he has been battling a tumor condition called Neurofibromatosis that has caused him to have numerous surgeries, including one to remove his right eye. Through it all Conor fights this battle with a smile on his face! He and his family have to travel from their home in Charleston, South Carolina, to Philadelphia at least every 3 months for MRIs, numerous doctor visits, surgeries, etc. This condition, unfortunately, is progressive and the tumors are unable to be removed because they are wrapped around nerves and in areas of the brain that are inoperable. There is no effective chemotherapy against the tumors. Chemotherapy at best slows the growth of the tumors.
As you can imagine this is very difficult financially. We want to reduce the financial stress, so they can focus their energy and time on loving Conor and reducing the emotional toll on the rest of the family.
Conor's story as told by his mother, Miranda McManus:You can also follow Conor's story on Facebook at www.facebook.com/CaringforConor.
Look on the right of the screen and scroll down to the bottom of the photos to find a video that is four years old, so a little outdated, but tells the beginning of Conor's story quite well. It is an audio montage based on a one-hour interview, created and set to music by a local radio station for their yearly radiothon. This YouTube video sets the radio montage to pictures of Conor through those four years.
Conor was born a happy, healthy baby boy on July 14, 2005. He is the youngest of our crew with 3 older brothers and a sister. When Conor was getting ready to go for his 4-month well baby check, I started noticing that one of his eyes looked a little larger than the other. When we saw the pediatrician, she also took note of a large number of "birthmarks" that had popped up all over his body and remembered a disorder from medical school that concerned her. She immediately made an appointment with a neurologist that Friday (3 days later) and had a brain MRI scheduled for the same day. In my initial shock I said that we couldn't make that appointment because we were flying out to go see my husband's parents so we needed to reschedule. As I was driving home, I was like–what am I thinking!–I canceled the flights and got the appointment rescheduled back to its original time.
That Friday we found ourselves surrounded by a room full of doctors and med students with a diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis Type I….and it all began…
We were told that NF could be very mild. As a scientist, I went digging and knew all of the percentages, all of the possibilities. The MRI came back clear, and we were thankful, but not really, because our world had been rocked and of course we were imagining all of the things that could go wrong. We met other doctors, including a geneticist, and basically learned that Conor would be monitored closely, having another MRI in 4 or 5 months, and that we couldn't worry about anything until we were faced with it.
When the next MRI came around, we were faced with it. Tumors had appeared in Conor's right orbit, extending back into his brain, and we were immediately sent to a neurosurgeon who informed us that Conor needed to have a craniotomy. He also told us they would not be able to get all of the tumor because these tumors get all wrapped up in the nerves and the area of the brain in which the tumors extend is just too dangerous to operate. Not even 10 days later, they were cutting into my baby's skull–straight across his head, from ear to ear–and we were in the ICU and hospital for the next week. Amazingly, he bounced right back after surgery; I witnessed for the first time the strength and resilience of my little boy.
Over the next few months Conor started visibly changing. His right eye started to bulge out and actually lower in level to a point that I emailed pictures to the neurosurgeon while we were on vacation. He immediately scheduled another MRI, which showed extensive growth of the tumors and that the eye was bulging out past the socket, so it was hanging over. In a week, he was back in for another craniotomy, this time with the help of a craniofacial surgeon for some pretty extensive facial and orbital reconstruction…not even 14 months old and he was in the hospital another week for another craniotomy. Another quick recovery from an amazing kid.
Three months later, the next MRI showed extensive tumor growth. We were told that he needed another operation, but that without someone who could operate around the optic nerve, there was nothing that the neurosurgeon could do. We visited an adult ocuplastic surgeon who was not really interested in getting involved with Conor's case and, after meeting him, we didn't feel comfortable letting him touch our child.
We were referred to Duke after speaking with other physicians where we met with a craniofacial surgeon, neurosurgeon, and an oculoplastic surgeon. A month later, I had still not heard anything and was told by one of the doctors after contacting all of them by email that they were tossing around Conor's case like a hot potato–that his manifestations were rare, and that I needed to see someone who saw a little more of this type of thing. We were referred to the two best specialists in the country for pediatric eye tumors–luckily, both were in Philadelphia, so we were able to see them both in one trip. When we saw the second doctor, Dr. Katowitz at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, we knew we were in the right place. He immediately walked us up to the neuro-oncology department to meet Dr. Belasco, and our treks to Philadelphia began.
They decided it would be best to remove Conor's right eye. A little over a month before his 2nd birthday, we traveled up for Conor's 1st surgery in Philadelphia; we were back six weeks later for a prosthetic eye fitting, and have been there at least every 3 months since. He has had numerous tumor debulking surgeries in Philadelphia and has been treated wonderfully by a very cooperative team of doctors. We had no idea at the time what a wonderful thing it was to remove Conor's eye, but developmentally, he took off after it was removed. He was in so much pain, but could not communicate how much; we realized it when the pain was gone.
The summer of 2009, we spent most of our time in Philadelphia because an MRI showed significant tumor growth. They decided it was best to debulk the tumor, wait three weeks and start a yearlong IV chemotherapy protocol under a clinical trial. There is not any chemotherapy effective for shrinking these tumors, and some chemo and all radiation can actually cause the tumors to turn into an extremely aggressive type of tumor, so it is considered a success for the tumors to stop growing while on trial. He completed the year in September 2010. Following chemo, they did another debulking surgery in January 2011 to try to clear some tumor out and do some cosmetic fixes while the tumors were stable and less vascular due to the chemo.
A trip to Philadelphia in October 2011 showed no appreciable growth of the tumors in his brain, orbit, face, and neck, but that he has started having little isolated tumors pop up in other places. Luckily, these tumors are not as dangerous as the ones in his head, because they tend to stay more isolated, but seeing anything new show up is scary for us nonetheless. This trip also brought a surprise CT scan in addition to the normal MRI, and brought the surgeon to consult with a craniofacial surgeon to plan another surgery to debulk the tumor and do some pretty major facial reconstruction as well.
Conor had this surgery in March 2012. He was again cut from ear to ear--for the third time. They did extensive tumor debulking, but only in the orbital area, and drastic facial reconstruction involving cutting out three sides of his right orbit and grafting in bone taken from another part of his skull. He was in the hospital for the better part of a week, much of it on a morphine pump for the pain. The day after we were able to leave the hospital and go stay in a hotel, Conor took himself off of all pain medicine, including Tylenol. We remained at the hotel for a week before we were allowed to return home. Two days later, Conor insisted on going to baseball practice. A week later, he was leaving on a four-day field trip with his class to Williamsburg, VA.
A follow-up MRI in Philadelphia six weeks after the surgery brought some surprises. For the first time, the MRI showed an irregular finding on his left optic nerve--straight out of our nightmares...his good eye! His left optic nerve is tortuous, which is a precursor to the development of a tumor called an optic glioma. Another trip to Philadelphia over the summer brought us a new specialist that will need to follow Conor to detect any changes in Conor's vision. At this point, any change in the left eye on either his scans or in his vision buys him chemotherapy again.
A few months laters, another scan showed some new signal intensity in the left basal ganglia in his brain that the radiologists read as a low-grade glioma...another tumor. We are thankful that Conor does not have to endure chemotherapy right now. Rather, we will wait and watch and see, but it is tough to know as we look at Conor that he has these ticking time bombs in his brain. Conor had another debulking surgery in January of 2013. Dr. Katowitz walked out of surgery, handed me Conor's eye in the waiting room, and said that we were going to need to make an appointment to have another made before we came back home because that one would no longer fit. Luckily we were able to get in quick and only had to spend one extra day in Philadelphia. Our visit to Philadephia in April 2013 was a whirlwind. Conor had an MRI and appointments with the ocuplastic surgeon, the neuro-ophthalmologist (who is monitoring his vision), the neuro-oncologist, and the craniofacial surgeon, who also sent him to see a neurosurgeon. He also saw the ocularist, the craftsman who makes his prosthetic eyes, who had planned to do some modifications on Conor's eye, but decided not to. The MRI showed "new" tumor growing along nerves involving his upper spine, the C5, C6, C7, and T1 vertebrae. The good news is, it is not currently in the "soft spine" (spinal cord), and it is not really new; the tumor was on the previous scan as well, but was apparently missed with all of the focus on everything else, and is unchanged from that previous scan--so if it is growing, it is not growing fast! Conor had another major surgery on Nov. 25, 2013, a craniotomy, which required his zipper incision across his head to be opened up from ear to ear for the fourth time, but this time his skull was cut into and his brain was lifted to access the back of the orbit from above. The point of this surgery was to place titanium mesh to mimic his dysplastic sphenoid bone (he was born without it). The hope is that this mesh will slow further progression of tumor into brain, and at the very least, stabilize the bone grafts from the last reconstructive surgery. Conor had an amazing recovery from surgery and was out of the ICU in only one day! And four days later he was walking out of the hospital on his own two feet with no pain medicine!Conor's most recent surgery was another debulking and more minor reconstructive surgery in May 2014. A recent MRI in January 2015 showed growth in Conor's tumors, the most concerning growth is in the cavernous sinus, which we have always been told is an inoperable tumor because it is too dangerous to operate in the area. Conor's oncologist has consulted with the chief of neurosurgery and they are now considering surgery. We return to Phildelphia at the end of March for more scans to include an MRA, which will determine whether or not the tumor is restricting blood flow to the brain.This has been such a journey, and we have one amazing kid! It never ceases to amaze me how well he handles all of this–his strength is inspirational. He lives as normal a life as possible–plays sports, goes to school–and has a personality and smile that wins everyone over.

Hidden agenda. (Soaps.com)
Last fall we took a look at "All My Children's" Erica Kane's many husbands. Since he's been married at least as many times as his ex-wife La Kane, Soaps.com figured we'd reminisce about the many wives of Adam Chandler. As to be expected, his many unions were filled with manipulations, betrayal, several pregnancies and even some love.
Althea Patterson:
Althea was Adam's first wife. Despite them raising Skye together, Adam left when she was a child.
Erica Kane:
Adam was producing the film adaptation of Erica's biography "Raising Kane" and offered her the lead role if she married him. She of course accepted, but Adam cast someone else in the role and Erica eventually left Adam for her real love Mike Roy. Years later, Adam informed Erica they were never divorced and blackmailed her into having another wedding ceremony. Erica fell in love with Dimitri Marick at this time and Adam eventually gave Erica a real divorce.
Brooke English:
Adam moved on to Brooke and the two fell in love and married. However, when Adam believed Brooke couldn't have children, he began having an affair with Dixie Cooney in order to produce an heir, which they did in the form of JR. When Brooke learned of Adam's infidelity, they divorced.
Dixie Cooney:
With plans to take JR for himself, Adam swept Dixie off her feet and married her. He then convinced her she was losing her mind and had her committed to a mental institution. Lucky for Dixie, Tad figured out Adam's scheme, rescued her and helped her regain custody of JR. Dixie divorced Adam and married Tad.
Natalie Marlowe:
Broke, courtesy of his life long nemesis Palmer Cortlandt, Adam married Natalie for her money. Of course, she was truly in love with Trevor Dillon and when she learned of Adam's manipulations, divorced him and went back to the love of her life.
Practice didn't make perfect. (Soaps.com)
Adam's next wife was first involved with his brother Stuart. However, Adam fell for her and eventually won her over. They married, but when Adam had an accident, leaving him paralyzed, Gloria turned to Alec McIntyre. Adam and Gloria stayed together, but Adam faked his own kidnapping to see if she would run back to Alec. Gloria left Adam when she found out about his ruse, but they soon discovered she was pregnant. Unfortunately, she lost the baby. Gloria snapped and, blaming Adam for the death of their child, tried to kill him by poisoning his food. Brooke discovered what she was up to and Gloria was shipped off to a mental hospital. After she recovered, the two broke up for good.
Liza Colby:
Adam and Liza became engaged in an attempt to make Brooke and Tad jealous respectively. Even though neither Tad nor Broke stopped the wedding as hoped, Liza went through with it in order to get her hands on Adam's money. Once married though, Liza actually fell in love with Adam. Their happiness was short lived, as she blamed him for the loss of their unborn baby and divorced him. Liza decided she still wanted to have a child and Jake Martin offered to father the baby through artificial insemination. Adam found out and replaced Jake's sperm with his own. Liza became pregnant and reconciled with Adam. The truth about her daughter Colby's paternity came out and Liza once again left Adam. After some time, they made a third attempt at marriage, but when Adam made her think she had a brain tumor, as well as some cheating mixed in, they divorced for a third time.
Arlene Vaughan:
Believing Stuart was dead and he was responsible, Adam married Hayley's mother, the drunken Arlene, in order to alienate those close to him as a form of self punishment. In return, Arlene received a nice chunk of change. The Arlene effect worked, but Stuart was soon revealed to be alive, which Arlene knew about. Arlene also got pregnant by Adam, but miscarried. Naturally, Adam divorced her.
Krystal Carey:
In an attempt to out Di Henry, who was impersonating the thought to be deceased Dixie, Krystal accompanied Adam to West Virginia. While there, they got drunk and got hitched. Once sober, Krystal decided to stay married to Adam in order to help Babe see more of her son Little Adam. Like any good soap story, Krystal and Adam eventually fell in love. Despite her real feelings for Adam, Krystal had a one night stand with Tad and became pregnant. When Adam found out Krystal's baby was Tad's, his despicable colors came out and they split up.
Annie Novak:
After Annie took care of Adam the night Stuart died, he arranged for her to stay with him during her house arrest for killing her brother Richie and various other shenanigans. They grew close and married when Annie said she was pregnant. She faked a miscarriage, but learned she was pregnant for real. Sadly, she also suffered a real miscarriage. Although Adam grew suspicious of his nephew Scott's relationship with Annie, their marriage ended when Adam caught his bride in bed with his son JR. That discovery freed him up to ride off into the sunset with Brooke English.
What else do you remember about Adam's many marriages? Feel free to fill in the blanks below.

Pink Eyeliners: Swatches, Dupes, and Comparisons
Pink Eyeliners: Tarina Tarantino Broken Doll, MAC Full of Fuchsia, MUFE #13L, UD Woodstock, UD Asphyxia
Pink Eyeliners: Your Guide
I didn't have a lot of pink eyeliners, but these were the few that I did have, and you can see that within the five, there aren't any dupes.
- TARINA TARANTINO BROKEN DOLL is a pale, shimmering pink. I didn't find any dupes for it.
- MAC FULL OF FUCSHIA is a fuchsia pink with a subtle iridescent sheen. (LE)
- MAKE UP FOR EVER #13L is a medium pink with a metallic sheen. It is lighter than the other pinks.
- URBAN DECAY WOODSTOCK is a vibrant fuchsia-red pink with a metallic sheen. It is less cool-toned compared to MAC Full of Fuchsia.
- URBAN DECAY ASPHYXIA is a pinky-purple with a violet iridescence. (LE) Compared to these pinks, it is much purpler.
TEMPTALIA PICKS: #1 (good for brightening), #4 (wears well)
Behind-the-Series: It was my intention to provide heavy, opaque swatches to provide an accurate color comparison. Some eyeliners required one pass, some required five, and a few even more. When possible, the shade name (above) is linked to the original review so you can read more about the quality, wear, etc. of a particular eyeliner. If we've never done a review, there will be no link. Shades that were limited edition will be marked with "(LE)" and shades that were discontinued will be marked with "(DC)" after the color description. You can also find all comparisons on The Dupe List.
What's your favorite pink eyeliner? How do you like to use it?
