Arsenal Message Board

There is no place for what Santi cazola did in this game. Blatant diving, he should face a long ban. Of course the AKBs, amongst the most deluded fans on the planet think all decisions go against Arsenal. Well, lets see them explain that non penalty. I apologise to all who love football on behalf of all proper arsenal fans, the club let the game down today, that should not be forgotten.of course the manager did not see it. I will not be attending games or buying merchandise until wenger gazidis and kronke are gone.
- Dave SE by Dave SE Nov 17, 2012 17:38 Flag
So a win against the old enemy and the AKBs are getting above their station. Pathetic. Is beating Spurs now the limit of ambition? Wenger is a busted flush. The definition of insanity is keeping doing the same thing and expecting different results. Ring any bells? Yet again, Groundhog day. And it is the ridiculous AKBs who keep him there. Wenger should be sacked and Moyes bought in, transforming this lot of underacheivers into a proper British team.
How many AKBs does it take to change a light bulb? As many as OGL tells them, thats how many.
Trophyless...again but all is well in AKB landDave SE by Dave SE May 15, 2012 15:12 Flag
The only reason this team finished third was due to the failings of others, helpful referees, poor keepers and massive slices of luck. Chelsea appointed a clown who they had to sack, Liverpool lost key players, Spurs were clearly a far superior team but scuppered by the clueless FA intent on destroying the greatest current English manager. Wenger has yet again proven tactically inept, incapable of organising a defence. He only wants yes men around, Bould will last all of 3 weeks. RVP will leave, the likes of Hoilett will come in. Denilson will be like a new signing. But for the ridiculous AKBs and JCLs, all is ok. Swansea, Wigan, QPR, Fulham ...and in years gone by, Hull, Wolves, Wigan again, Charlton...anyone see a pattern? Unfortunately Wenger does not. His team beat City so all is ok. They say you get the leader you deserve AKBs.
Next season, Wenger will carry on regardless, but I can assure him that Arsenal will be nowhere near third
- Dave SE by Dave SE Mar 17, 2012 14:56 Flag
You have heard and will hear all sorts of fancy names linked with the club, but as Arsenal fans , we all know to pay no heed, these things hardly ever come off due to a manager and board lacking ambition.
But good news, one player is almost a done deal. No, dont be silly, not the German, wengers dithering will most likely mean he goes elsewhere.
I refer to a premiership ready attacking player, who will come very cheap......and his last name rhymes with toilet........

One swallow does not a summer make - do not be fooled by this result , only papering over the cracks of a desperatly poor team.
It pains me to say it, but Spurs will finish 2 or 3 places above Arsenal. Do not know what Redknapp was doing tactically today, but even greats can have an off day.
Wenger just got a very temporary stay of execution, nothing more.
- Dave SE Dave SE Feb 24, 2012 00:28 Flag
Bischoff, eisman, whoever, they all merge into one, they are all useless to the cause of arsenal, just a one in a thousand gamble wenger is fond of that he may get another superstar for a few hundred thousand or less. That is the stuff of wengers dreams I'm afraid, the only manager in the world averse to buying good players. Imagine the concept, you win fifty seven million in the lottery and choose clapped out Renault Clio , that is what OGL stands for. Damned if I can understand him. Still, they say you get the leader you deserve
- Dave SE Dave SE Feb 23, 2012 19:08 Flag
Hilarious list!
We all know that anyone he signs will be completely unknown or free like his star Jan signing this year....Bischoff or whatever he was called.
That Toillett guy at Blackburn may be an option, and Demba Ba as he will be a perma crock after this season, right up wengers street.
And dont forget, Diaby will be like a new signing! for at least a game anyway....a bit like Gibbs....

What's up with our friend?
- Dave SE by Dave SE Feb 21, 2012 23:32 Flag
They are not fit for the premiership, but look who picks them and pays them 70 grand a week! Yes, denialson almunia djourou, bendtner walcott squilacci and vela earn more that bale and modric. I know , incredible, I admire them! The reason, arsenal had to invest a percentage of turnover on playing staff as part of the stadium loan agreement, and guess what, he refused to pay transfer fees, so he put it on wages, killing hunger in young , fairly useless players and making it impossible to sell them! And once more ,he cannot be sacked as no top manager would take over such a situation, we are stuck with the dead and dying wood for years! All down to the vanity of one man. O neill gave him a lesson in work ethic, tactics and management, just imagine what redknapp will do! Now, it is not just vp who wants put, it is song and theo as well! What does that say! pains me to say it, but I want arsenal humiliated again this weekend, then something may be done. A very poor third behind a very poor second in London, how does that feel akb sheeple? Make no mistake, akbs, the board, wenger and shite players are equally to blame. Wake up idiots!

Eden Hazard to Spurs.by Govinda Feb 13, 2012 20:46Dave SE Dave SE Feb 14, 2012 00:50 Flag
Do not know if that is true or not, but I can tell you arsenal will not be signing hazard, as gourcuff is a done deal, along with Mathias Suarez, and an attempt will be made for Podolski, but Liverpool may have something to say about that and you guessed it, we will not get involved in a bidding war with Liverpool as long as wenger and kronke are around.
Hazard or gourcuff....interesting, problem is, one will cost twelve million, the other thirty five million euros, think we can guess which one wenger will go for.
Fortune favours the brave, mid table mediocrity awaits the risk averse, kronke is just like randy Lerner lacking in ambition, wenger can no longer cope with the pressure of trying to win, which suits all those who run arsenal. this club would rather settle for seventh than spend. Rvp been nice knowing you

Yes he is. Wenger got very lucky today. Mon plays a pragmatic British style game with British style players. He is the master, wenger these days the imposter. Mon will have the last laugh in the fa cup. On a depressing note, how are we now behind spurs? Though it pains me to say, redknapp is clearly a managerial genius ,,maybe wenger should have shown ade more patience

Wenger for England??by Dave SE Feb 9, 2012 15:50Dave SE Dave SE Feb 9, 2012 20:55 Flag
Don't get me wrong, wenger is not going to win anything with England, anymore than he will from now on at arsenal, but he just may be able to bring on youngsters sufficiently to enable them to win with a proper future manager, just like he develops players at arsenal who go on to win trophies elsewhere with proper managers
- Dave SE by Dave SE Feb 9, 2012 15:50 Flag
Redknapp will not take the England job, they cannot afford him and his backroom staff, who he will insist on keeping in the highly unlikely event he did move. Redknapps star is clearly on the rise at Spurs, in stark contrast, it has to be said to that of Wenger at Arsenal. However, Wenger could make an England manager, dont laugh, there is method in my apparent madness. England need to get rid of the divisive old guard and bring in youngsters for the future, Wenger does just that, to a fault.Harry, like Fergie or Jose is a natural winner, and will pick the best players available to him at any given time, Wenger is more patient and inclined to look to the future, arguably exactly what England need now.
At England, Wenger would be freed from worrying about finances, obsessing about the design of lockers at the training ground. He would not have to worry about transfers. He lacks coaching and managerial skills, but some of the players come from clubs with managers who have these qualities in abundance. Wenger likes earning , but hates spending, the England job would be ideal. He would not have to enforce his own wage caps. He would only see the players from time to time, hopefully they would not be too exposed to his training methods, so harmful to the body, and so tactically inept with no defensive drilling. He would not have to worry about squad size. Even the most blinkered AKBs are now queuing up to hail Redknapp as Londons finest manager, (dont believe me, look at the forums) but the England job could be tailor made for Wenger, it could limit his many faults and even enhance his key strength. And best of all, if he took it, our club could make that call to Sunderland and get a proper club manager asap

That was a win against a poor team, not playing for their manager, with players missing and down to 10 men, and even they Arsenal conceded!
Next week, Wenger will face the man who he knows and we all know should be the Arsenal manager. What a job MON is doing at Sunderland, I know he has just arrived there, ut from what we have seen so far, he rivals Harry Redknapp for manager of the year.
A true pragmatic British style manager who plays the game as a British style team should, unlike someone I can think of, who is lost in his Barca dreamworld. Arsene, if you have a knackered out Ford Fiesta, no point in pretending it is a Bugatti. Arsenal will never be Barcelona, this team will never even be Spurs

I called this signing last night see exciting new signing thread. Hopefully I will get a bit more respect from some on this board, especially the akbs that have targeted me. I reiterate, rvp will be replaced by Mathias Suarez, hold me to it. I am a very successful man, I mix in circles whereby I get this info, and I have shagged a cheeky girl. Ignore my posts at your peril.

Thomas eisfeld, an injury prone mf from Dortmund under 19s, subject to medical. Price 450k. Ambition is alive and well at arsenal, that bischoff, sorry eisfeld could be the new messi! The champions league is ours after this.

RVPs agent in secret talks with Real for a summer move, Chelsea will buy Higuain , RVP will replace him.
Arsenal have signed RVPs replacement on a pre contract, Matias Suarez from Anderlecht for 7m euros, the agreement with his current club means it will not be announced until June.
Abidal loan a possibility but unlikely, Podolski says the summer but he is keeping options open in the likely event Arsenal are not in the Champions League next year.
Theo will be shipped out to Liverpool to make way for Ox,Song to one of the Milan clubs to make way for Coq or Chamberlain. Wenger does not understand the concept of having good players in place and good players challenging them.
All this on the day Arsenal say good bye to the top 4,and good bye to respectability as a club. Wenger and the board have lost all ambition, the fans know it, the players know it. The club is an insult to players it once had, and let go on the cheap, they make me sck to the stomach.

Everyone commented on the nice invitation card sent. We used the shimmer paper and a red color for their names which was real striking with the black text. We choose to keep the card rectangle shaped...it looked real classy."
"I ordered these for my rehearsal dinner for my wedding and they turned out great. They arrived earlier than what I was originally told and they looked exactly like the website showed."
"This card had the primary colors of the wedding so it was perfect for the Rehearsal Dinner. When I put in the location on the form I capitalized it. I had the designer look the card over before printing and she changed it so it matched the rest of the design. That was very helpful as I had overlooked that completely! I am very pleased with the quality of the card stock used and would order this again, if I had any more children getting married!! My order was delivered before the stated delivery date which made me very happy, and it was packaged nicely."

Quillin: No Respect For Guerrero When We Get in The Ring
LOS ANGELES - World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight champion Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin (28-0, 20 KOs) puts his title belt and unbeaten record on the line April 27 in his much-anticipated first world title defense against challenger Fernando Guerrero (25-1, 19 KOs) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Quillin was originally schedule to defend against Guerrero on February 9, however, the entire show was postponed due to an injury suffered by headliner Danny Garcia.
Fighting once again on Showtime Championship Boxing, Quillin vs. Guerrero could steal the thunder from Garcia and his challenger, Zab Judah, as Quillin did last October in the same venue against previously undefeated WBO title-holder Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam, who was floored six times and eventually lost a 12-round decision (115-107, 115-107, 115-107), as well as his WBO crown.
The powerful Quillin, who now lives in New York City (Manhattan) but trains for fights in Los Angeles, returns home to fight again in Brooklyn where he lived for several years. "I'm fortunate to have my fight shown around the world through Showtime and to be going back to fight in New York City where I built my name," Quillin said. "There's not too much else in my thought process other than working hard to defend my title belt. Everyone will see me at my best on April 27th because every camp is about getting better.
"I love to challenge myself. I look in the mirror and honestly believe nobody can beat me. I still have a lot to improve, though, and I've gotten this far fighting through a lot of BS. I take what I do very seriously and anybody can see just that by watching what I put myself through at the gym."
Cuban-American favorite Quillin has a clear advantage in quality opponents fought compared to the WBO No. 9-rated Guerrero, a southpaw from the Dominican Republic who lives in Salisbury, Maryland. Quillin has defeated world champions N'Jikam and Ronald "Winky" Wright, as well as Craig McEwan, Jesse Brinkley, Fernando Zuniga, Dionisio Miranda and Antwun Echols. Guerrero's victims include J.C. Candelo, Saul Duran, Ishe Smith, Ossie Duran and Gabriel Rosado. However, Guerrero's lone loss as a professional boxer was to a then 40-year-old with 12-losses, Grady Brewer, nearly two years ago by way of a fourth-round technical knockout for the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF).
"I'm expecting to fight the best Fernando Guerrero," the 29-year-old Quillin added. "He lost to Brewer but there may have been things going on I don't know about. I respect him (Guerrero) but, once we step in the ring, things will be different and I won't have any respect for him, like anybody else I fight. I know he's coming in the best of shape - he'd better - and we're going to give fans what they want to see.
"A lot of guys are told early in their careers that they'll be world champions. All I was ever called when I was young was a juvenile delinquent or criminal. We've both overcome struggles. I'm not saying mine were tougher than his. Struggles make better fighters. He has said that I have power and speed, but I have a lot more -- I'm good looking and tough with balls. I've got the whole package. I want to win this fight as much as my last one."

MURRAY, Ky. (AP) - Call it a homecoming for hemp. Marijuana's non-intoxicating cousin is having a rebirth in Kentucky, a place at the forefront of efforts to reclaim it as a mainstream crop.
Researchers and farmers are producing the state's first legal hemp crop in generations. Hemp has turned into a political cause in the Bluegrass state. Its advocates include U.S. Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul and state Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, who is running for governor next year.
The crop's reintroduction was delayed in the spring when imported hemp seeds were detained by U.S. customs officials. The state's Agriculture Department sued the federal government, and the seeds were released after federal drug officials approved a permit.
Since then, test plots have shown the crop to be hardy and fast growing. Statewide plantings totaled about 15 acres.

Lance Z is a respected talk show host in the Houston area. Here is his latest mock draft, but I don't agree with the 17th pick for the 49ers. I hope the 49ers would pick Bruce Campbell.
Posted by Lance Zierlein at February 27, 2010 08:02 AM
Mock Draft 2.0 - Texans get a cornerback
1. St.Louis - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Z-Report Says: Sources tell me the Rams are leaning toward drafting a QB right now and that they like Bradford. Of course, that can all change after the combine medicals or if the Rams decided to trade for a QB.
2. Detroit - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
3. Tampa Bay - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
4. Washington - Russell Okung, LT, Oklahoma State
5. Kansas City - Brian Bulaga, LT, Iowa
6. Seattle - Anthony Davis, LT, Rutgers
Z-Report Says: Davis is a big guy, but he has nimble feet and with Alex Gibbs taking over the running game in Seattle, I would expect a young, athletic tackle to be an early priority for the Seahawks and Davis has experience in the zone scheme at Rutgers.
7. Cleveland - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
8. Oakland - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
9. Buffalo - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
10. Jacksonville - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Z-Report Says: He's like a mini-Mario Williams who hasn't filled all the way out yet. Everyone loves his upside which is why he might get drafted early than he should. This one would hurt a little bit since the Jags have drafted Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves just two years ago, but with Matt Schaub and Peyton Manning in the division, you have to rush the QB.
11. Denver - Rolando McClain, MLB, Alabama
12. Miami - Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas
13. San Francisco - Eric Berry, FS, Tennessee
14. Seattle - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
15. New York (N) - Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
16. Tennessee - Earl Thomas, CB/FS, Texas
Z-Report Says: Another Longhorn to the Titans. Michael Griffin had issues with biting on play-fakes last year and he is more athletic than instinctual. Since this is the case, the Titans could move Griffin over the strong safety and let Thomas be the "centerfielder". Or, the Titans could try and see if Thomas can play CB opposite Courtland Finnegan.
17. San Francisco - Jimmy Claussen, QB, Notre Dame
18. Pittsburgh - Mike Iupati, LG, Idaho
19. Atlanta - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri
20. Houston - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Z-Report Says: It will be interesting to see if the Texans will pass on C.J. Spiller is on the board. This is a deep CB draft, but most NFL insiders feel like Wilson is one of the top 3 CBs on the board and if the Texans don't address this position via free agency, they probably need to do it within the first two rounds. If the Texans draft CB here, it wouldn't surprise me to see them move up a couple of spots in order to draft a RB they might covet.
21. Cincinnati - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
22. New England - Jared Odrick, DT/DE, Penn State
23. Green Bay - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
Z-Report Says: Packers GM Ted Thompson might have a hard time passing on left tackle Bruce Campbell from Maryland, but he's notorious for his insistence on looking at best available when special players are there and Spiller would be too much for Thompson to pass up on.
24. Philadelphia - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
25. Baltimore - Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
26. Arizona - Taylor Mays, FS, USC
27. Dallas - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
28. San Diego - Maurkice Pouncey, C/G, Florida
Z-Report Says: The Chargers need a running back badly, but they also need major help on the offensive line. Pouncey can play center or guard and would be able to step in and help right away. Obviously the Chargers have to find a RB in either the draft or free agency, but this draft is fairly week for interior linemen while the RB class is pretty solid.
29. NY Jets - Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan
30. Minnesota - Ryan Matthews, RB, Fresno State
31. Indianapolis - Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State
32. New Orleans - Brian Price, DT, UCLA

The Detroit Lions are no longer undefeated, and that is just fine.
Nobody thought this team was going 16-0, anyway.
So, with a loss under their belt and the dust settling from the scuffle between Jim Schwartz and Jim Harbaugh, the Lions can move on and focus on their opponent this week: the Atlanta Falcons.
The Falcons have alternated wins and losses all season and at this point are coming off a 31-17 win over the Carolina Panthers.
Assuming the Falcons will not accept defeat because of their current pattern means the Lions will have a tough game on their hands.
Here are four players who must step up in order for the Lions to move to 6-1.

This Red-breasted Nuthatch hit my window - right next to the WindowAlert decals! I went outside to get him to a safe place before one of the neighborhood cats saw him, but he flew into the tree and rested for about ten minutes. At first he was hanging upside down, but eventually went upright. Not long after, I saw him at my feeders again.

Where do you get window alert decals?
Where do you get window alert decals?
I actually won them from the company's Facebook page, but you can also find them at stores like Wildbirds Unlimited. Not sure where else.
Hmmm, actually, I just read somewhere that the lack of mine working could have to do with them not being in good sunlight. Could be the issue since the doors NEVER get sun since they face north and have a deck surrounding them.
Wonder if light-colored ones would work better in that instance?
I'm not sure. The birds have also been hitting my screen door (!!!). This was mostly when I had 100 finches in the yard. Things were a bit crazy and they just kept [lightly] hitting. The ones that come from my close feeder seem to just brush my window while the others coming in from the woods or trees are the hard-hitters =\
That's them! There should be a Hawk design somewhere too. I think that one works better. They seem to ignore the Hummingbird design that I have on my sliding doors and fly right into them *shrug*
Good shot!!

Ashworth College is a legitimate online school
AUTHOR: Mckell - (Bahamas)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, October 19, 2006POSTED: Thursday, October 19, 2006
Two things Ashworth College needs improvement in are their shipment of course work and contacting them by telephone. Other than that I had no problem contacting them by e-mail and taking my exams on-line.
I thought it was offensive for one of school ex-employee to label students that enrolled at Ashworth as uneducated. If you follow the rules of the college an uneducated person cannot read the text books, answer the questions and take the proctor exams. I do agree it is easy to cheat by having someone do your course work, but that means that your proctor nominee also cheated. Ashworth needs to look into getting more suitable proctor candidates. You can also cheat in traditional schools by having someone write a paper or do your homework.
Ashworth has no teachers like traditional schools therefore, their education programs is not for everyone. I choose to obtain a degree by distance education because of convenience and reasonable price. The handbook states that it is up to the individual schools whether or not they would accept Ashworth credits.
It is an advantage having an open book proctor exam, but you should not take it for granted that you will pass the exam. You have to read five text books in its entirety. When taking the proctor exam you have three hours to answer 60 multiple choice question. Some of the questions are straight forward some are not. If you do use the text book it takes time, and you need to understand what you are reading. If your proctor nominee help or give you more time both of you have cheated. Maybe Ashworth should look into selecting their own people to proctor exams at the expense of the students. There are students that will be dishonest in obtaining a degree, and because of this the quality of Asworth degree will always be in question.
If you have work experience in the program that you are taking, and would like a degree to show your qualifications then Ashworth College is for you. If you want to obtain credits to enter into another college then you should to make sure that school accept Ashworth credits.
I am proud of my degree because I did it the right way by studying, nominating a qualified and honest proctor candidate.

Biarritz Travel Guide: 133 reviews and 336 photos
Biarritz is a lovely town on the southern, western coast of France. It was once a haven for surfers, and still has the waves, but has turned into a tourist mecca during the summer months. There is not many attractions in the city itself, thats what makes it such a great beach destination!
- Pros:Great Beach and Coastal Scenery
- Cons:WAY too many people
- In a nutshell:Don't expect to be alone on the great beaches...

Hi, Jason! Thanks for your story...
Nice jump and nice pictures. thanks
Good looking rocks . . . but what's with the golf bashing? ;-)
A very interesting overview of the beach life of Biarritz! And hey, when your back is to the wall, there is nothing wrong with wine in a plastic cup!
Queen Victoria loved it, as did Edward VIII who played golf here before & after his abdication. It wasn't until that floozy Brigitte Bardot discovered St. Tropez that Biarritz lost its star-studded status! Love the wine in a plastic cup at sunset pic! ;-)
I went through Biarritz once- on a night train from Hendaye to Paris, so I didn't see much. Another reason why the Azure Coast is more popular is because the waters are warmer over there. No jet stream warms France's Atlantic Coast.

RFK Bridge
At the base of the Astoria Queens side of the RFK Bridge is an established nest of Red-tailed Hawks. It's one of the easiest nests to watch in the city and this year has at least two eyasses.
At the base of the Astoria Queens side of the RFK Bridge is an established nest of Red-tailed Hawks. It's one of the easiest nests to watch in the city and this year has at least two eyasses.
On the Northeast light post of the soccer field north of Icahn Stadium is the 2013 Randalls Island Red-tailed Hawk nest. The female of the nest was sitting on the eggs. She sat low on the nest and when she settled in after getting in did the back and forth wiggle a brooding mother does.
So, I don't thing we've had a hatch yet out on Randalls Island.
I took a visit to Queens to check out a nest on the Triborough (RFK) Bridge. It's been on the bridge for some time, although one year the nest was on the opposite side of the bridge. Like so many nests in New York City, it had a parent die from poisoning.
Astoria is a nice quiet neighborhood full of friendly people. Sometimes I get burnt out answering scores of questions from hawk watchers in Manhattan, and Astoria makes a wonderfully relaxed trip. The nest is near the next to the last stop of the N train, which is a quick trip from where I live in Manhattan.
This year the nest has three eyasses, which seem to be about a month old.
I arrived at Riverside on Sunday after a thunderstorm to find a wet family of hawks. The father was on a street light drying off and the mother was feeding two eyasses.
The other known Red-tailed Hawk second clutches in the city, Inwood Hill and Astoria/RFK Bridge, both fledged over the last few days. A fledgling was seen in Inwood Hill by Jessica Ancker (via the Inwoodbirdwatchers Yahoo Group) and Peter Richter has pictures of the fledglings in Astoria on his Queens Raptors blog.
Before I went on vacation, I went by and saw the freshly hatched eyasses nesting on the Astoria side of the RFK Bridge. I finally got back to see how they were doing on Saturday. The two of them looked great.
They look healthy and very grown up. Their tails need to grow in before they'll be flying off, but they'll be leaving the nest soon.
I got my first glimpse of a RFK Bridge nest eyass this evening. From the feeding behavior of the mother, there are at least two eyasses. My guess is two, but it's too early to tell for sure. It's a strange season, when a new eyass is seen the same day as a fledge!
Earlier this spring, the Astoria female died due to poisoning while she was sitting on her nest. Within a few days, the male found a new mate and they laid a fresh set of eggs.
While we can't see the hatchlings yet, based on the behavior of the mother, it looks like they have hatched. We'll know how many there are in a few days.
The two surviving eyasses at the Unisphere in Corona Flushing Meadows Park are doing well. They look ready to fledge. For information about what happened earlier this season, see Peter Richer's Queens Raptor blog.
The three eyasses looked great on my Saturday visit to the nest. The nest is on a drain pipe on the Astoria, Queens side of the bridge. On my visit I didn't see the parents, but I also didn't stay long. It's not uncommon for a nest to be left unattended for long periods once the eyasses get close to fledging.
Earlier this week arrived news from Bobby Horvath, the rehabilitator on Long Island, that an eyass had fallen out of the Unisphere. The bird was taken to the Queens Zoo across the highway, checked out just fine, and ended up with in the Horvath's care.
The Unisphere nest has a history of having eyasses and fledglings in trouble. The Unisphere's metal construction makes it difficult for a bird to "branch" and there have been birds that fall out of the nest prematurely in previous years. The park itself is a problem for new fledglings, as it doesn't have very many quiet areas for the parents to lure them to.
The Hovarths continues to perform a great service for birds and wildlife in New York City. If you're a NYC Raptor lover, I can think of no better donation then to help their organization. If you'd like to make a monetary donation, checks can be made out to "Wildlife in Need of Rescue and Rehabilitation" and sent to:
WINORR, Inc.
202 N. Wyoming Avenue
North Massapequa, NY 11758
Since I hadn't been out to the nest since earlier in the season, I went out on Saturday to see how things had progressed at the nest.
When I arrived a parent was on the New York State Pavilion Towers and a visible eyass on the nest. About fifteen minutes later, I saw a wing tip briefly from an I-beam of the Unisphere, three sections over from the nest. So, the nest must have started three chicks, two still on the Unisphere and one now with the Horvaths.
Sunday Update: A second eyass fledged prematurely at the Unisphere and it is also now in the care of the Horvaths.
I made a quick trip out to the RFK Bridge and the Unisphere on Friday. The RFK female was feeding young, but they didn't pop up into sight, so I stuck out again in my attempt to get a glimpse at them.
The female at the Unisphere was sitting on the nest. It was impossible to tell if she was still sitting on eggs or had hatchlings. The nest is recessed into an I beam, which makes it a great hiding place for youngsters.
I'll be checking back up on these nests in a few weeks.
I spend early Sunday afternoon and late Monday evening looking for the eyasses (chicks) at the Astoria Park - RFK Bridge (formerly Triborough Bridge) nest without success. It's clear by the parents behavior, that they're no longer sitting on eggs, but have hatchlings, but I didn't see them. I must have missed the feeding each time I went, and if the eyasses are sleeping, they would be too low to see them.
In any event, I do have some nice pictures of the nest and the parents.
Red-tailed hawks are once again nesting on the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, in Queens, New York. This year, they have abandoned the old nest located off the coast of Somalia (fear of pirates?) in the Indian Ocean and built a new nest directly south of Los Angeles, in the Pacific Ocean. The new nest, like the older ones, is on the equator.
The equator of the Unishere is a I-beam, and the female can be completely out of view if she wants to be. I was there at sunset, so the picture quality is poor. I'll be going back later in the season to see the eyasses.
I got an email on Saturday, that two hawks had been found dead at Astoria Park. Excellent follow up by the Urban Park Rangers in Queens discovered two dead chickens rather than hawks. Dead chickens have been a problem in the park this summer, most likely from Santería animal sacrifices. While I'm relieved that the hawks are in good health, I do feel some sadness about the chickens.
Here are pictures of the Astoria hawks. Two from last weekend and three from this Sunday.
I hadn't been able to make it out to Astoria for awhile, but made it out on Saturday. I was able to see both parents on Triborough Bridge. They were on opposite sides of the Queens tower of the suspension bridge, just below the roadway level.
I wasn't able to find the surviving juvenile hawk from this pair nicknamed, Buster by the neighborhood. The hawk from the Lower East Side that was released into the park and had to be returned to rehab after a case of Frounce has unfortunately died.
The surviving fledgling from the Lower East Side, was recently released in Astoria Park and nicknamed Hank. This hawk did not stay in the park. However, hawk sightings further south along the river closer to the Queensborough Bridge have locals wondering if this hawk might be Hank.
Astoria Park has two fledglings in the park. Both looked like they were doing well. One was enjoying a branch of a tree, while the other was on a high diving board when I was there.
The foot up or foot out poses are quite common for Red-tailed Hawks. They aren't a sign anything is wrong, they're just shifting their weight from one foot to another.
The Triborough bridge is in the background of the last photograph.
I got a message from Lincoln Karim that the Triborough Bridge pair was actually a trio, so I went out Saturday afternoon.
I got to see the eyasses and the mother. The mother had been sick and was restored to good health under the care of Bobby Horvath. You'll see she's banded.
Thanks to a text message from Lincoln Karim, I went out to the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows, Queens and was able to find the new Red-tailed Hawk nest location. It is about minus 30 degrees of longitude from the old nest. Instead of being near Indonesia, it is now in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Somalia.
I had received reports earlier in the season that the nest site was empty. The nest is in an I-beam, so it must be easy for the mother to hide while brooding and for the eyasses to hide when they are young.
There are at least two chicks in the nest. In the pictures that follow, the mother captures, eats and feeds a young pigeon to her eyasses. Readers beware.
On the left, East Africa, the nest is in the center, and the adult female is on the right.
The adult female perches on a light around the perimeter of the Unisphere plaza.
The adult female hunts at the bottom of the Unisphere.
There are a number of nesting pigeons, and she grabs a juvenile pigeon.
After eating a great deal, she takes a piece to the nest after a few stops to gain altitude.
The Astoria/Triborough Bridge nest has at least two chicks in its new location on the other side of the bridge. (Thanks, Jules Corkery for the update.) I didn't get great pictures this evening but wanted to share them never the less.
The Astoria female was very ill this fall and was nursed back to health under the care of Bobby Hovarth. With all of the bad news, it's important to remember that there are still lots of positive stories and successes in New York City.
Update 5/15/08: Also on the good news front Peregrine Falcons are doing well this season. 55 Water St. has a scrape with four nestlings which can be viewed on a webcam, and at least two birds have fledged on the Met Life building.
The second and the last eyas on the Astoria Park nest, left this morning and headed to a park north of the bridge. (Thanks to Jules Corkery for letting me know about the fledge.)
When I got there this evening it was still there with its mother watching over it.

Ah, the Goner's hypocrisy shines out like a beacon. Wilshere was very lucky he didn't break the other player's leg with a wild and reckless lunge like that. I hope the FA investigate him.

Wenger is the most hypocritical manager in the league, as for the FA they can't investigate as it was seen by the ref.
What do you mean by "finish the job"?

Lawyers get a bad rap in this country, and in some cases it's well earned. However, during the month of October I enjoyed the distinct privilege of interviewing nearly a dozen of the industry's most insightful, informed and hard-working people—all of them law-firm lawyers serving energy companies, regulatory agencies and customer groups.
=El Paso Electric promoted George A. Williams to senior v.p. and COO. Idaho Power promoted Darrel Anderson, IDACORP and Idaho Power's senior v.p. of administrative services and CFO, to executive v.p. of administrative services and CFO. ConEdison Solutions hired Jim Mueller as v.p. of customer operations. Exelon Corp. appointed John Stough as v.p. and chief development officer for Exelon Transmission Co., a new venture on transmission lines. And others...

The potential for a federal renewable energy standard (RES) and carbon regulation, considered with the effect of state-imposed renewable energy standards, is fueling a strong, but challenging, market for renewable energy. Utilities are competing to sign up the best new projects, the types of renewable technologies available are increasing, and there are various government stimulus programs for energy; yet, the financial markets still are hesitant. Against this backdrop, how should contracts for power from new renewable resources be shaped so that those deals will look as good five, 10 and 15 years after execution as on the day the ink dries?

(November 2009) Regulators are in the unenviable position of determining an allowance for ROE that's fair to consumers and investors in a volatile economy. The cases that stand out this year are those in which regulators explored the limits of their discretion.

To fulfill the promise of the smart grid, utilities need to give consumers a greater range of options as well as the education to make sustainable, energy-saving decisions. That includes integrating demand management into the utility back-office.

Dramatic changes are coming to the electric industry, sparked by a surge of renewable energy and related transmission. Growth in demand-side resources, conservation and smart technologies will add integration dilemmas to an already complex power system.

The Prius Effect—a term that's gained currency in sustainability circles—is shorthand for the strong link between information and behavior demonstrated by the popular Toyota hybrid. The car was among the first to provide a real-time fuel consumption gage on the dash; step hard on the gas, watch the MPG gage go down. Coast gently along and see the savings. Drivers with the gage become aware of—even obsessive about—the way their driving habits affect consumption, and by extension, cost.

Salix Homes helps tenants get online
Published by James Allan for Salix Homes in Housing and also in Care and Support, Communities
A social housing provider has launched a new project to get its tenants online.
Salix Homes, which manages 8,500 properties across Central Salford, is piloting a digital inclusion initiative to help prepare its tenants for Universal Credit.
Universal Credit, part of the Government's Welfare Reforms, will combine six key benefits paid in one monthly direct payment and will require residents to apply for and monitor it online.
Statistics show that 4.1 million of the 8.7 million adults who have never been online live in social housing and in a poll of Salix Homes' tenants it was found that 37 per cent do not have internet access.
Now Salix Homes has joined forces with the Broughton Trust, Salford Credit Union and computer recycling company Pier 1 to provide its tenants with low-cost computers and basic IT training.
As part of the scheme, a group of 20 tenants, who have been identified as claiming benefits or are of pension age, are invited to attend a free, six week basic IT course at the Humphrey Booth centre in Broughton.
They will learn essential IT skills as well as tips and training on job searches, CV writing and interview techniques.
Sue Sutton, director of customer and neighbourhood services at Salix Homes, said: "Universal Credit will present a major cultural change in the way social housing tenants receive and access support so it is essential that we make it as simple as possible for our tenants to get online and more importantly, stay online.
"Too many people in Salford are digitally excluded and 37 per cent of our tenants don't have internet access so this project reaffirms Salix Homes' commitment to achieving digital inclusion for people of all ages living in our communities.
"It's critical for social housing providers to help their tenants to get online – both to prepare them for Universal Credit or to help them get jobs and manage their finances.
"As well as help our tenants prepare for Universal Credit, this project will also enable them to learn essential new skills that are desired by employers and teach them how to access valuable online information to improve their lives."
For every tenant that completes the course and wishes to purchase their own computer, Salix Homes will pay half of the cost of a recycled laptop costing £150. Tenants will be able to borrow the outstanding amount from Salford Credit Union at a low interest rate, if they open a savings account with the Credit Union.
The pilot project launches this month (January) for tenants in the Lower Broughton and Greengate areas of Salford and if successful Salix Homes intends to roll it out to its tenants across the city.

New Guy looking to have fun! come say hi!
Hey all, I'm Dave from Pittsburgh. I just this week got back into my childhood hobby of trading cards and I am focusing solely on hockey right now. The week started quick with tons of packs and a box break of the 12-13 O Pee Chee stuff to help build a collection. I'm pretty sure the most rare thing I got was my Anaheim Ducks team logo patch.
Today I picked up three packs of 12-13 Artifacts! My "hits" were a rookie, game used jersey card, and an autograph rookie redemption! I'm pretty excited about what I have so far and I want to keep building on it!
My questions:
Are the boxes of Artifacts off upperdeck.com as good as my hobby store?
What are good high end sets I can look to for good hits?
Thanks, and GO PENS!!!!!!!

Sets I'm Building:
12-13 Artifacts Jersey/Patch Emerald /75
12-13 Artifacts Sapphires

Winning Technology Locates Parking Spaces Across Cities
Congratulations to StreetLine Networks the IBM Global Entrepreneur of the Year and winner of the 2010 SmartCamp World finals in Dublin with a clever solution to that perennial problem — where is the nearest parking space?
What the StreetLine does is to give, in near-real time, an accurate picture of parking across a city. As anyone who has tried to park in any city will know, parking spaces are rarer than an Irish cricket fan. Drivers, rather than wasting time and petrol prowling the streets looking for a space, can drive straight to the streets with free slots.
In research, StreetLine monitored 15 'city' blocks in Los Angeles for a year. In that time they estimated that 950,000 extra miles were driven by people scouring the streets for somewhere to park.
The San Francisco-based start up, formed four years ago, has devised a network of smart sensors, literally glued to the road, to monitor parking spaces. As Zia Yusuf, the CEO, asked: "How much innovation has there been in the parking space?"
When a car parks in a slot, the magnetic sensor detects the car's presence, and pings a message. That message is relayed through the network back to the main server marking the slot as taken.
The sensors, each powered by a couple of AA batteries that will power it for several years, are connected to each other in a low-power mesh, each talking to the one next to it. At intervals are relay stations that pick up the data and pass it back over the regular mobile phone network.
That data can then be used in two ways: firstly, via apps for smartphones, to tell drivers where the places are, and secondly it allows the city to use its real estate much more effectively.
"If a city monitors parking and it sees that one block has 90 per cent occupancy, but a nearby one has only 50 per cent," says Mr. Yusuf, "then in real time they can use dynamic pricing to maximize the revenue of the high-demand slots, and also to push people into unused spaces."
According to research by Donald C. Shoup, professor of urban planning at the University of California, Los Angeles, the value of a Los Angeles parking space can exceed $31,000. Slots sitting empty represent wasted revenue and under-used scarce assets.
Unfortunately there is a downside for drivers. By wiring up parking meters as well, the city gets to see which cars are parked illegally and can send the traffic wardens in.
The company has rolled out in six cities across the U.S. with a view to expansion.
The announcement of the winner was the culmination of the IBMSmartCamp — a global initiative to seek out start-ups that match IBM's Smarter Planet initiative.
IBM deserves credit for the way it has managed the whole initiative. It is easy to look at a 99-year old tech company and think there is no way it can possibly get it, but the company showed genuine humility. What could easily have just been an enormous sales pitch for IBM was actually a lesson in how to take a back seat and simply act as the facilitator.

Rumored to have been reverse-engineered from the Second Life engine, and then improved upon. It's a free, quasi-private, less-dystopian version of Second Life.
It's also online free. Here he is comparing Windows and Mac OS (pre-OSX) to cars:
Imagine a crossroads where four competing auto dealerships are situated. One of them (Microsoft) is much, much bigger than the others. It started out years ago selling three-speed bicycles (MS-DOS); these were not perfect, but they worked, and when they broke you could easily fix them.
There was a competing bicycle dealership next door (Apple) that one day began selling motorized vehicles--expensive but attractively styled cars with their innards hermetically sealed, so that how they worked was something of a mystery.
The big dealership responded by rushing a moped upgrade kit (the original Windows) onto the market. This was a Rube Goldberg contraption that, when bolted onto a three-speed bicycle, enabled it to keep up, just barely, with Apple-cars. The users had to wear goggles and were always picking bugs out of their teeth while Apple owners sped along in hermetically sealed comfort, sneering out the windows. But the Micro-mopeds were cheap, and easy to fix compared with the Apple-cars, and their market share waxed.
Eventually the big dealership came out with a full-fledged car: a colossal station wagon (Windows 95). It had all the aesthetic appeal of a Soviet worker housing block, it leaked oil and blew gaskets, and it was an enormous success. A little later, they also came out with a hulking off-road vehicle intended for industrial users (Windows NT) which was no more beautiful than the station wagon, and only a little more reliable.
Since then there has been a lot of noise and shouting, but little has changed. The smaller dealership continues to sell sleek Euro-styled sedans and to spend a lot of money on advertising campaigns. They have had GOING OUT OF BUSINESS! signs taped up in their windows for so long that they have gotten all yellow and curly. The big one keeps making bigger and bigger station wagons and ORVs.
On the other side of the road are two competitors that have come along more recently.
* Strip out unneeded languages. Safari is available in more than a dozen languages, Adium in more than 20. This is great, but how many of those do you need? Xslimmer allows you to select how many languages you want to preserve in your apps and will remove the rest, recovering lots of precious free space from your disk.
This looks like a very useful program.
Looking at this, I'd say maybe yes.

Closed-Form Expressions for the Matrix Exponential

AbstractWe discuss a method to obtain closed-form expressions of f(A), where f is an analytic function and A a square, diagonalizable matrix. The method exploits the Cayley–Hamilton theorem and has been previously reported using tools that are perhaps not sufficiently appealing to physicists. Here, we derive the results on which the method is based by using tools most commonly employed by physicists. We show the advantages of the method in comparison with standard approaches, especially when dealing with the exponential of low-dimensional matrices. In contrast to other approaches that require, e.g., solving differential equations, the present method only requires the construction of the inverse of the Vandermonde matrix. We show the advantages of the method by applying it to different cases, mostly restricting the calculational effort to the handling of two-by-two matrices.
Keywords: matrix exponential; Cayley–Hamilton theorem; two-by-two representations; Vandermonde matrices
