The village with its narrow cobbled streets you will certainly enchant you. The facades of the typical Majorcan houses are decorated by the locals with various flower pots, giving the place an added attraction. Valldemossa tells its own story and is mainly known for its church. The locals call this sacred building "Cartoixa ". However, it was formerly the first palace built by the Catalan kings. During the 19th century, the famous musician Frédéric Chopin lived in Valldemossa, to recover from tuberculosis disease. His wife, George Sand, accompanied him. In the 20th and 21st century, the quiet village was discovered by other celebrities. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta -Jones own a house not far from Valldemossa.
In the culinary world Valldemossa is famous for its "Coques de patata". It is pastry made from potato, which is dipped in hot chocolate sauce. Try it for breakfast in one of the little terraces in town!
In the area there are also some lovely rocky and pebbly beaches and bays with crystal clear water. A few examples would be: Port de Valldemossa, Port of Canonge, Cala Deia and Llucalcari.

Huset är välskött, rena och moderna - här kostnader har sparats. Överför snabbt och enkelt. Den långa sandstranden (med en mysig strandbar) bara en 3 minuters promenad.

Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, sauber und modern eingerichtet - hier wurde an nichts gespart. Übergabe problemlos und schnell. Zum langen Sandstrand (mit gemütlicher Strandbar) nur 3 Minuten zu laufen. Restaurants, Kneipen, Fahrradverleich und alles, was man sonst noch braucht ebenfalls in Laufnähe. Alles in allem also eine perfekte Location - dafür geben gerne 5 Sterne!
Its a fantastic Finca in the countryside of Mallorca but still very close to Santa Margalida. It has a beautiful, large and clean pool. The sourrounding yard is decorated with beautiful flowers. The house is decorated in an "old-fashion/classical" style and very cosy. The furniture in- and outside is very comfortable and solid - no plastic chairs or similar. The interior gives you everything you need: A huge fridge including 3 big ice buckets, a washing mashine, a barbeque on the terrace and a nice outside-couchplace. The kitchen provides any tool you´d need. Well, I could write a novel about the beauty of this place...
Last but not least we had very nice expirience with the daughter of the owner who visited us the second day in order to ask if everything is okay and to give some info about garbage and electronics.
To make a long story short: We had a fantastic stay and we will come back to this beautiful place a s soon as possible.

Crue you Cowboy fans can always be preseason champs....see you September 8th in our house little man.
Crue we here on TAGF don't agree with you on a lot of Threads but that's what makes MBs fun and we like having you and Ntegrase on here. However I think we all can agree on this... RG3 just needs to SHUTUP...... Tired of hearing him running his mouth. first its him and his people complaining that they kept him in to long in the playoff game and not trying to protect him. Now its him and his people complaining that they wont play him in a preseason game because they are being over protective....LOL. I mean just shut your mouth please. I would say 99.999999999999 percent of the time I root against the Eagles no matter who they are playing, but in this one case in the first game of the season I think I will change all that.

Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
IDK whats more sad, the fact you want to compare pre-season stats, or the fact that you actually get excited about it...
You can be happy with what Romo does in August. I'm happy with what Eli does in January and February.
You know you wish Romo could ever do what Eli did in either NFC Championship game...

Sounds like you need a rifle.
If you have lots of land, something with a scope would be handy.
I live on several acres bordering forest land. I've never been a hunter, and have limited experience with hand guns at a shooting range a few years back. I'm looking for any suggestions on one versitile gun that would be best for home protection from threats ranging from criminal trespass to protecting kids from bear and cougar if needed, and the occassional raiding coyote. While I know a couple guns might be best, my budget says I should probably stick with one for now. Needing to go through training, etc., is a given. Thanks for any feedback!
Sounds like you need a rifle.
If you have lots of land, something with a scope would be handy.
The only single type of gun that is suitable for defense against both bears and humans, is probably a 12 gauge shotgun, because of the variety of ammo that can be fired through it.
Personally, I would want a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun.
Thanks. That makes sense. I'll start with a shotgun, then purchase the others later as the budget allows. I didn't know that a 12 gauge was able to use a variety of ammo, so I obviously need some education along with the firearm.
Lion attacks happen. But, rarely. Hungry young males without established territory, or rabid.
So, for me, pump 12 gauge shotgun at home, Ruger Alaskan .454 Casull revolver for mountain wilderness hiking. But, .44 Magnum is enough.
I think a general shotgun ammo concensus "might" be 2 3/4 inch shells with 00 buckshot for human varmints.
Or any animal up to and including black bears or lions. The brown bears (Kodiak/grizzlies) are an entirely different "deal".
They make rifled slugs for these. Solid, not the saboted (plastic encased) small diameter ones for deer.
My "night gun" is a Mossberg 500 "defensive model" pump. 20 " straight cylinder barrel (no choke). Holds 7 rounds plus one in the chamber.
I prefer the Mossberg because the safety is an intuitive push-pull "switch" at the back of the receiver, on top.
The "other recommended" Rem. & Win. pumps have a "cross-pin" safety mounted by the trigger guard. Not as easy in a SHTF event.
The Mossbergs are good quality for lowest cost other than "foreign-made". Mine was $250. Probably now $300 ? Not pretty, but a working tool.
Regardless of the barrel length or "choke", shotguns are NOT "scatterguns" like uninformed (including a few gun nuts) would like you to believe.
They need to be properly aimed in order to hit something, whether inside your house or outside. Especially with buckshot or slug loads.
Bird hunting loads use much smaller pellets (and a lot of them). You still need to "point" well. These are lethal to people or small animals close-in.
Whatever shotgun you might get, buy "target practice" birdshot loads. They come in a box of 25 and are amazing cheap.
And buy a couple of boxes expensive buckshot or slug loads for "defense". Practice the birdshot shells on some nice cardboard boxes.
Start at five yards, move out at five yard intervals. You will see what I mean about needing to aim.
Then try one box of the expensive ones to see how they do from the same start at five yards, and move out.
Load the other box, chamber one, safety on. Figure out how to train and protect your kids from any "gun accident".
You now have something to grab and use if needed. With confidence. Good Luck !
Obviously, I haven't covered how to deal with any real "worst case scenerios" with animal attacks on others in your family.
That is way advanced beyond Shotgun 101. But, the basic rule is "do anything you have to do to save them" and all can survive.
12 ga. pump, Remington, Benelli etc. Nothing will get the attention of an intruder like the sound of a pump gun being racked.

Slackware Linux
4 comments:
This is a great distribution, I did have my really start with it, and I'm still using it, is very stable, just have little problems with some librarys but nothing unattainable. I'm using it now with the GSB (gnome slackbuild) http://gnomeslackbuild.org/ and it provides all that graphics effects that other distribution have, but with solid base that Slackware provides.ReplyDelete
If you install redhat, you know redhat, if you install slackware you will know GNU/Linux :D

"If you install redhat, you know redhat, if you install slackware you will know GNU/Linux"ReplyDelete
Couldn't agree more. I've been running Slackware as my primary OS for almost 5 years now, and ran it as part of a dual-boot for 3-4 years prior to that. I remember thinking that 'slack' = easy, but it's the furthest thing from. But after sticking with it for so many years, I feel I not only have a firm understanding of the OS itself, but also how it interacts and uses my system hardware as well.
I started on Slackware and it was possibly one of the best places to start, however I've got to confess that I'm just too fond of the binary repository system that Debian/Ubuntu/RedHat/Mandriva/Gentoo/Arch et al have. It's great to be able to install new software and all it's prerequisites fast without compiling from source each time. In 90% of the cases binaries will work fine.ReplyDelete
That said Slackware is a great way to really learn the infrastructure of GNU/Linux, second only to doing a full stage 1 install of Gentoo (which is so much of a PITA I couldn't seriously recommend it)
Yes definitely Slackware for me, it's the Best Linux Distro Ever!! it is really stable and usable. I couldn't change it since I dared to install it. Yes I had some troubles trying to get Slackware working. But now I'm much more into.ReplyDelete
Sure if you install Slackware you will know GNU/Linux!! =)

Royal baby countdown creating excitement
Montecito Journal columnist and royal analyst has insights
MONTECITO, Calif. - The countdown to the birth of the royal baby has stirred excitement far beyond Britain.
Montecito Journal columnist and royal family analyst Richard Mineards says with the due date Saturday it will be the culmination of a big week.
"I mean we've had Andy Murray becoming the first Brit to win Wimbledon tennis in 77 years,"said Mineards. "The sun has been shining, 83 degrees and in a few days time a royal baby. So what a week this is going to be not just in Britain but for royal fans around the world."
Mineards says many people fond of the Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are already guessing whether it will be a boy or a girl.
He says the family will be receiving teddy bears from around the world the moment the baby is born.

Spring Fashion 2014: Grooming
<p>Look sharp this spring with our Fashion 2014 grooming guide. </p>
This is the final installment in our three-part guide to men's fashion trends for spring 2014. Previously we forecasted the trends to watch for and the must-have accessories and today Playboy.com gives you the 411 on grooming. Guys' fashion is easygoing this season, but that doesn't mean you should let it all hang out—spruce yourself up with the grooming tips below.
The Neat Beard
The New York Times Fashion and Style section once claimed that the potbelly was the new, hip look. Needless to say, it wasn't, it's not and it never will be, but their recent headline, "Brooklyn Beard Goes Mainstream," is bang on. A neatly groomed beard is chic and acceptable everyplace from the indie rock concert to the office. If you lost out in the facial hair genetic lottery, however, don't sprout a patchy mess or, worse, pay a plastic surgeon $7,000 for a beard transplant—yes, it's a thing.
The Straight Razor
(Courtesy TheMotley.com)
Can't get behind the beard? Don't go half-assed with stubble or compromise with a mustache (except in Movember); the clean shave is your best bet. This decade has seen a resurgence of the traditional barbering arts with high-end barbershops offering luxurious shaves with a straight razor. Treat yourself to a pro shave, then take it further by wielding your own straight razor daily. It's the only way to have the perfect smooth, fresh face. It takes some practice, but once you wield the right blade for a few days you'll be a master. Our pick is the Dovo Black Handle 5/8" Straight Razor, Dovo's been making fine blades for more than a century and this is a fine example of their craft.
The Hairstyle
For spring 2014, easygoing is à la mode so let your hairstyle reflect that. Try what we're calling the semi-bedhead: Keep it cleaner on the sides with a little more volume on top. Add just a bit of sculpting cream so that your hair has texture and make it a touch messy. Don't go overboard; keep it tidy. For a slick cut that's still relaxed and easy to maintain, get regal with the Caesar. Have your barber neatly trim your sides and back while you rock bangs and some longer hair up top. The effect is a square shape that'll emphasize the strong masculine features of your face. If neither of these appeal to you and you want to let it all hang out, feel free to go a tad shaggy, but stop short of full Woodstock.
The Right Scent
(Courtesy AnchorandArrow.net)
Chipper, brighter colognes are on their way out for more traditionally masculine heavy and dark scents. Look for a weightier cologne that still has the potential to be used subtly. Paco Rabanne's BlackXS Potion's lighter pear and juniper notes are modern and attention-grabbing while the dusky rum and cashmeran wood base notes impart a manly edge. Another option is Portland General Store's Whiskey Cologne. No, it doesn't smell like your favorite libation, but it does have some of the opulent oak wood tones of your favorite single malt. Made from natural ingredients and hand blended in small batches, it's an updated take on a classic 1920s recipe.
The Body Treatments
The metrosexual is passé; however, that doesn't mean you can't take care of yourself. Find a spa that specializes in men and get a facial/massage/detox package. The skin treatments and stress reduction will add to your handsome appeal for days after. Just skip the waxing. Many places offer the so-called boyzillian to give your intimate areas the hairless pornstar look, but bush is back, and not only for women. If you really need to tame the area, just trim a bit with a pair of scissors (and yes, getting rid of some hair down there makes it look bigger, plus your lady will have easier access).

I think he is going to rise up the boards very quickly if he continues to produce at the combine like he is. I knew the kid was strong but he surprised me with 28 reps on the bench which was the best at the S position and would be tied is tied for 3rd if you compare him to the LB's too. That is pretty impressive, he has said that he can run a sub 4.3 too. I had him in my mock in the 5th round I believe because I watched a lot of 'Cuse games and he was a tackling machine for them. He seemed to have a huge hit every game that I watched. I think this kid would be a nice addition to the team. I know that we have Rolle but Phillips and Brown are FA's. I like Will Hill and Sash is alright but Thomas could be a nice player who we can use in a variety of different ways like in the box or let him cover slot WR's or drop him back deep. He is compared to Quinten Mikell and I think that he is stronger than him and probably faster but adding a player like that would be a nice pick.

I'm a giant sucker for time travel movies. The wish-fulfilment aspect of seeing the future combined with the idea of righting past wrongs combined with the inherent danger of doing so makes for a heady combination of thrills and drama.
This week sees the New Zealand release of Rian Johnson's Looper, a thoughtful addition to the canon that nevertheless ended up being less about time travel than I'd hoped.
It's still very much worth seeing, but the experience of watching Looper got me thinking about the best time travel movies ever made, which I will now detail for your enjoyment.
In my opinion, there is no better time travel movie than Shane Carruth's 2004 masterpiece Primer. Carruth himself stars as an industrial engineer who along with some colleagues accidentally creates a time machine.
They set about using it for financial gain, but things naturally go awry.
The film is often frustratingly inscrutable, but Carruth maintains the answers are all on screen. What I love most about Primer is its grounded and pragmatic approach to time travel. It feels like a real-world approach to a fantastical situation.
There are no flashes of lightning or cars going 88 miles per hour in Primer. The time machine is a box in a storage facility. If you want to travel 12 hours back in time, it will take 12 hours sitting in the box to achieve it. A sense of doom permeates all of Primer, and make it as chilling as it is inventive.
Going far beyond the simplistic "I might never be born" quandaries presented by many time travel stories, the consequences in Primer are somehow equally devastating and incomprehensible. It is without a doubt the best time travel movie ever made.
There's been nary a peep out of Carruth since the film was released to critical acclaim and a slowly expanding cult reputation. IMDb says his next project is something called A Topiary, which presents the enticing logline: "A group of young boys comes across a mysterious box that holds magical powers." DOWN.
Coming a close second to Primer is Spanish writer/director Nacho Vigalondo's 2007 thriller Timecrimes, in which a hapless husband finds himself accidentally one hour back in time, and must scramble to maintain the status quo.
The awful circularity of fate is front and centre in Timecrimes, which plays out as a delectable puzzle box of a movie. It's nasty and funny in equal measure, and holds up on repeat viewings. David Cronenberg was briefly rumoured to be helming an English language remake at one point. That is a film I would see.
There's a recent German film called The Door that builds on Timecrimes somewhat, and is one of the better recent time travel films I have seen. Rising European star Mads Mikkelsen (A Royal Affair, Casino Royale) stars as an artist whose life crumbles after his daughter dies in a freak accident.
Years later he discovers a mysterious portal that allows him to go back to the day his daughter died and prevent it, but now there are two of him in this timeline, and that's a problem. I could only find a German-language trailer for the film, but it is well-worth seeking out on DVD.
While Groundhog Day is rarely referred to as a time travel movie, it qualifies on multiple levels, and I'm citing it here because its the only time travel movie ever made that chooses to focus on the mundanity of having to relive a certain time period. Groundhog Day takes this idea to its metaphysical extremes, and is all the more awesome for it.
Cinema's most famous time travel movies - the Back to the Future trilogy - are also amongst its best. While the first film is a bonafide classic, many filmgoers of a certain age (myself included) quietly prefer Part II, which to a pubescent boy contains all the potential glories of time travel in a brightly coloured package.
The first half of the film presents a future that conforms to every kid's wildest notions of what possibilities such a time could behold: Floating skateboards, flying cars, self-lacing shoes and shiny baseball caps.
We're only three years away from the future of Back to the Future Part II, and so far we only have the shiny baseball caps, but the world of 2015 that director Robert Zemeckis created remains wholly captivating, if not necessarily plausible.
One of the more under-appreciated time travel films around is the little-seen 1992 film Timescape aka Grand Tour: Disaster in Time, directed by David Twohy, a genre journeyman who went on to helm Pitch Black.
The great Jeff Daniels (The Purple Rose of Cairo, Dumb and Dumber) plays the proprietor of a small-town inn who comes to realise that his latest guests are in fact tourists from the future who have come back in time to witness a cataclysmic event. A family friendly adventure with some original ideas, Timescape is a great little nugget of a film.
George Pal's 1960 adaptation of HG Wells' The Time Machine must be cited on any list of time travel movies, and very much deserves its classic status.
But I always got frustrated with how the main character gives up on his own time so easily and launches himself hundreds of thousands of years into the future where humans have evolved into two separate species. The Eloi seem nice, but that's not what I would do if I had a time machine. The 2002 remake did nothing interesting with the material.
Mary Steenburgen, who played the love interest of a time traveller in Back to the Future Part III, performs similar duties in 1979's hugely enjoyable Time After Time, which stars Malcolm McDowell as HG Wells himself, who chases Jack the Ripper (David Warner) through time to 1979 San Francisco.
It's a high-concept story that works mainly due to the game cast. In one scene, McDowell makes references to the "Scottish restaurant" he just dined in - McDonalds.
It may be principally concerned with being as silly as possible, but I consider Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure to be one of the best time travel films ever, if only because it sends Napoleon to a hydro-slide park called 'Waterloo'.
The film has aged remarkably well, and garners much mileage out of the century-hoping antics of its doltish lead characters.
I always struggled to connect with the Star Trek movies, but 1996's Star Trek: First Contact contains a great time travel story involving the Next Generation crew attending a significant moment in Earth's future history. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, which plops the original crew in 20th century America, is great fun also.
While the most recent entries in the Terminator franchise have run the concept into the ground, the first two films play nicely on the idea of changing the Earth's fate via time travel.
Does Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris count as a time travel movie? If so, I'd like to include that.
Twelve Monkeys is pretty awesome too, as is its inspiration, the late Chris Marker's 1962 short La Jetée.
I also really liked the time travel stuff in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which holds up as the best of all eight films in my mind.
Other great time travel movies include: Triangle (2009), which makes for an interesting companion piece to Timecrimes; Donnie Darko (2001); Army of Darkness (1990); Planet of the Apes (1968 and Vincent Ward's The Navigator (1988).
* Agree? Disagree? What do you think are the best time travel movies ever? Is Time Bandits worth watching? Comment below!

So much thought and logic for such a ridiculous premise.

Further to some media reports referring to future Airbus' deliveries or production schedules, Airbus wishes to reconfirm its outlook.
· 2003: As repeatedly stated during the past weeks and months, Airbus expects to deliver
300 airliners in 2003, in spite of the succession of crisis that have affected the air travel industry
since the second half of 2001.
- 2004: For next year, Airbus is not yet in the position to provide firm figures. As recently and publicly indicated by Noël Forgeard, President and CEO, Airbus foresees for the time being a level of deliveries which would be in the same order of magnitude as in 2003.
- 2005: As anticipated by several industrial sources, a market recovery in terms of deliveries can be envisaged in two years from now. However, it is even more premature to predict at this stage a reliable delivery level for 2005.
The figures reported by a few media today are based on working document that need to be established, at the various levels of the organization, in order to monitor consistently the industry cycles and allow the Airbus teams, suppliers and other stakeholders to plan ahead. Such working documents include internal working assumptions, constantly re-adjusted, and often refer to specific phases of the industrial process rather than to actual global deliveries.
It goes without saying that they cannot be seen as an official reference by the

Seven Detroit Area Residents Indicted on Charges of Conspiring to Defraud the U.S. Department of Education
Seven Detroit area residents were indicted yesterday in federal court in Detroit on charges of conspiring to defraud an agency of the United States, that is, the U.S. Department of Education, wire fraud, student financial aid fraud and false statements, United States Attorney Jeffrey G. Collins announced today.
Mahmoud Younis, 55, of Dearborn, Michigan, Walid Alsabbagh, age 40, of Dearborn, Michigan, Jamal Mourtada, 50, of Detroit, Michigan, Sahar Younes, 26, of Dearborn, Michigan, Muna Jaber, 46, of Dearborn, Michigan, Samira Mouzahem, 42, of Detroit, Michigan and Mariam Chbib Chbib, 39, of Dearborn, Michigan were charged in a four count indictment, said Collins, who was joined in the announcement by Secretary of Department of Education Rod Paige and Assistant Inspector General for Investigation, Donald Reid.
Younis was the owner of The Training Center (TTC) located on Schaefer Road in Dearborn, Michigan, Walid Alsabbagh was employed at TTC as an instructor, head of the computer department and registrar, Jamal Mourtada was the Director of Education and an instructor, Sahar Younes was an instructor and Muna Jaber was a financial aid assistant and admissions officer at TTC. Samira Mouzahem and Mariam Chbib Chbib were, at one time, students at TTC.
The Department of Education (DOE) provides financial aid to eligible institutions on behalf of eligible students in the form of Federal Pell grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants and Federal Family Education Loans. In order for a student to be eligible to receive federal financial aid, the student must possess a high school diploma or its equivalent - a General Educational Development (GED) certificate, or has obtained a passing score on an independently administered test. For a school to qualify to receive DOE funds it must obtain a state licensor and accreditation by a recognized accrediting organization and must agree to follow all of the DOE regulations relating to the disbursement and accounting of DOE funds.
The indictment alleges that defendants Younis, Alsabbagh, Mourtada, Younes and Jaber falsified or directed the falsification of records and violated regulations in order to continue accreditation and to receive funds from the DOE by falsifying G.E.D. certificates, high school diplomas, Ability to Benefit Test and certifications of foreign high school education. In addition, records of students enrolled in or attending classes in ineligible programs were altered and falsified to make it appear as though the students were in an eligible program. The ineligible programs included English as a second language and automated computer aided design. The funds that DOE provided were used for purposes other than to further student education. The amount of loss suffered by the Department of Education is estimated to be approximately $875,000.
Defendants Mouzhem and Chbib are charged with making a false statement in that they claimed to have completed their high school education in a foreign country in order to be eligible for student financial aid funds.
Each count carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison. Any sentence will be imposed under the United States Sentencing Guidelines according to the nature of the offense and the criminal background, if any, of the defendants.
An indictment is only charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government's burden to prove guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The case was investigated by the Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of Education.

Let Every Pixel Count – Drop def and class Keywords from Python
November 5, 2010Posted by on
In the spirit of letting every pixel count, why do we not drop the def and class keywords from Python? I am not proposing it, but just wondering about it.
Python has discarded the braces {} and the semicolons as used in the C-programming language, but has added the def keyword. In C, a function is defined like this:
add_numbers(){ x = 74; y = 86; return x + y; }
In Python, like this:
def add_numbers(): x = 74 y = 86 return x + y
Why not copy that good idea from C and define it like this in Python:
add_numbers(): x = 74 y = 86 return x + y
Of course, there would be the problem of how to distinguish between class definitions and function definitions. One solution would be to make the format of the class and function names significant for the interpreter, e.g. the interpreter could require that:
- classes be written in PascalCase, that
- funtions be written in camelCase, and that
- variables be written in lowercase with words separated by underscores.
To distinguish between function and variable names that have only one word, function names should always end with a capital letter.
Here is an example:
PoliceDog(): # Class hair_color = 'black' # Variable with two words in name findContraband(): #Function return True barK(): # Function with one word in name return 'noise'
The difference between a statement with a function definition header and a function call is the presence or absence of the colon.

Arsène Wenger is thrilled that Carl Jenkinson's promising start to the season has resulted in the defender winning his first England cap.
Jenkinson was brought on with 16 minutes to play as Roy Hodgson's side were beaten by a Zlatan Ibrahimovic-inspired Sweden on Wednesday night. Jack Wilshere was also in action in Stockholm, making his return to the international fold after 17 months.
Wenger is relieved both players came through the game unscathed, and says making his international bow will do wonders for Jenkinson's self belief.
"I'm massively pleased for Carl because he had a good start to the season and was rewarded last night," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "That will hopefully boost his confidence as well.
"I'm very happy. It was quite an interesting game. England did not get the result, but for me they played well in big parts of the game. There were a lot of positives in that game for England."
The England pair were not the only two Arsenal players representing their country in midweek. Playmaker Santi Cazorla travelled to Panama with Spain - though, to Wenger's relief, the midfielder did not feature as the world champions ran out 5-1 winners.
"I believe he didn't need games. He was overloaded with games so on that front I was happy that he got a little breather.
"It is not a complete breather because 20 hours travelling is of course not what we want. It's the advantage and the disadvantage of being called up in a squad. At least he didn't get injured and hopefully will recover before Saturday."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Battery-powered vehicle is ideal for NZ on environmental and national security grounds, says innovater.
New Zealand is perfectly positioned to road-test the next generation of ultra sustainable "green cars", which could play a crucial role in our future, a visiting US innovator says.
Andrew Saul, founder and chief executive of Genovation Cars, will be promoting green cars to Government officials, businesses and academics this week.
A 2007 study found plug-in hybrid electric vehicles could improve air quality and contribute to meeting the United States' long-term greenhouse gas reduction goals of 80 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050.
But Mr Saul believed electrically powered vehicles did not go far enough in being sustainable.
The G2 vehicle his company is developing is largely built from sustainable materials including an interior of recycled plastic bottles and tyres made from natural rubber.
It won't be on the road until the cash needed to finish design work and begin production - amounting to $150 million - can be raised.
"With all the other start-ups that have failed over the past couple of years this is a daunting task," Mr Saul told the Herald. "We continue to do design work but at a much slower pace - but one day we will be absolutely thrilled to see lots of G2s driving around New Zealand."
Mr Saul expected an eventual strong take-up of green cars from Kiwis because of their reputation for environmental stewardship and New Zealand's unique geography.
"I believe smaller cities and less congestion would reduce range anxiety and make electric vehicles more acceptable to the population."
There had already been interest in the G2 from Hawaii and nations in the Caribbean and the Bahamas which have limited distance driving.
"Also, there is a large potential for renewable energy."
Green cars also appealed because they were cheaper to run than standard models.
"When you factor in the significant reduction in maintenance cost, you can make a real argument for saving money over the long term.
"You also have a hedge against rising fuel costs with plug-ins as electricity rates are much more stable than oil and there is very little correlation between their costs."
Electric motors were up to 97 per cent efficient compared with about 30 per cent for a modern petrol engine, he said.
Improvements in technology, such as cylinder deactivation, direct injection and start-stop systems, had lifted petrol-engine efficiency but it was still well below 40 per cent.
"As the price of oil rises as we start to run out of it, which we're already seeing, plug-ins will become more and more attractive.
"New Zealand can benefit directly for reasons of national security. As an island nation, if the oil supply ever gets cut off, for example due to geopolitical instability, the use of plug-in vehicles could make a major impact on securing transportation for critical services."
But Mr Saul conceded there were downsides to green cars.
Among the biggest was range anxiety - worrying about running out of power while driving - but this wasn't a concern for plug-in hybrids. "Another is the cost, the size and weight of the battery packs and lastly the lack of charging station infrastructure."
The good news, he said, was that batteries were becoming cheaper and better.
The G2
The "G2" that American company Generation Cars is developing has a lightweight green composite body made from soy bean resin, not petrochemicals, and basalt fibre. Its "green interior" is made using recycled plastic bottles. The tyres are made from natural rubber, not oil. Superior aerodynamics and light weight combine to boost the range per kWh of battery energy. The company plans to build green factories powered by renewable energy.

On an empyreal spring evening in 1858, with the oleander in bloom upriver and early jasmine scenting the wind, the steersman for the Mississippi steamboat Pennsylvania, a bookish 22-year-old named Sam Clemens, guided the massive packet into the docks under the winking gaslights of New Orleans. As the Pennsylvania berthed, Clemens glanced to his side and recognized the adjacent craft, the John J. Roe.
From This Story
Related Content
Perhaps recalling his many happy assignments steering the Roe, the young apprentice pilot leapt spontaneously onto the freighter's deck. He was amiably shaking the hands of his former mates when he froze, transfixed by the sight of a slight figure in a white frock and braids: a girl not yet on the cusp of womanhood who would forever after haunt his dreams and shape his literature.
Mark Twain's description, written years later, of the girl as she emerged from the jumble of deckhands, leaves no doubt as to the spell she cast on him. "Now, out of their midst, floating upon my enchanted vision, came that slip of a girl of whom I have spoken...a frank and simple and winsome child who had never been away from home in her life before." She had, the author continued, "brought with her to these distant regions the freshness and the fragrance of her own prairies."
The winsome child's name was Laura Wright. She was only 14, perhaps not quite, on that antebellum May evening, enjoying a river excursion in the care of her uncle, William C. Youngblood, who sometimes piloted the Roe. Her family hailed from Warsaw, Missouri, an inland hamlet some 200 miles west of St. Louis.
She surely could never have imagined the import of that excursion. In this centenary year of Mark Twain's death, it may seem that literary detectives have long since ransacked nearly every aspect of his life and works. Yet Laura Wright remains among the final enigmas associated with him. Only one faded photograph of her is known to exist. All but a few fragmentary episodes of her own long life remain unchronicled. Mark Twain's references to her are, for the most part, cryptic and tinged with mysticism. Their encounter in New Orleans spanned but parts of three days; they met only once after that, in a brief and thwarted courting call that Sam paid two years later in 1860.
Yet in a powerful, psychic sense, they never parted. In 1898, Mark Twain,at the time living in Vienna with his wife, Olivia Langdon Clemens (Livy), and daughters Susy, Clara and Jean, finally unburdened himself of Laura Wright's impact on him. In a lengthy essay entitled "My Platonic Sweetheart," published posthumously in 1912, he described a protracted and obsessive recurring dream. A young woman appeared, with differing features and names, but always under the guise of the same benevolent, adoring persona. Mark Twain and the mysterious apparition floated hand in hand over cities and continents, spoke a language known only to themselves ("Rax oha tal"), and comforted each other with a love more rarefied than between brother and sister, yet not specifically erotic. Mark Twain did not supply the specter's real-life name, but scholar Howard Baetzhold has pieced together overwhelming evidence that the figure in the dream is Laura.
The Platonic Sweetheart gazes out at us today, Mona Lisa-like, from her repose inside the fecund dream world of the man who redefined American literature. But how significant was Laura Wright's influence on Mark Twain, both as an object of affection and as a muse? Mark Twain took the answers to these questions with him when he joined the arc of Halley's comet at Redding, Connecticut, on April 21, 1910. Yet Baetzhold's investigations—not to mention Mark Twain's own writings—have generated powerful evidence that the effect of this nearly forgotten figure was profound.
Certainly Mark Twain's obsession arose instantaneously. In his posthumously published Autobiography he recalled losing no time declaring the young girl to be his "instantly elected sweetheart" and hovering no more than four inches from her elbow ("during our waking hours," the Autobiography primly stipulated) for the ensuing three days. Perhaps he escorted her along the colorful French market or danced the schottische on the deck of the Roe. The two talked and talked, their conversations drifting unrecorded into the ether.
Never mind her tender years and provincial origins; something about Laura Wright seared itself into Sam's soul. "I could see her with perfect distinctness in the unfaded bloom of her youth," Mark Twain went on in his Autobiography, "with her plaited tails dangling from her young head and her white summer frock puffing about in the wind of that ancient Mississippi time."
Sam and Laura were obliged to part when the Pennsylvania backed out of the docks for its upriver voyage. Laura had given him a gold ring, Mark Twain would many years later confide to his secretary, Isabel Lyon. Only three weeks later, a catastrophe occurred, as traumatic to Sam as meeting Laura had been rhapsodic. This tragedy may have forged his need to take recourse from grief in fantasies of a healing angel. On the morning of Sunday, June 13, the Pennsylvania exploded, with tremendous loss of life. Sam was not aboard, but his younger brother, Henry, was—serving as a "mud clerk," or boy who would go ashore, often at a mud bank, to receive or hand off freight. Sam had secured the position for his brother as a gift, hoping to offer the shy boy an exposure to Sam's own world of riverboat adventure. It took the badly burned Henry a week to die in a makeshift Memphis hospital. Sam reached his brother and witnessed the end. The guilt-ridden letter in which he announced the news to the Clemens family amounts to a scream of primal anguish. "Long before this reaches you," it began, "my poor Henry—my darling, my pride, my glory, my all, will have finished his blameless career, and the light of my life will have gone out in utter darkness. O, God! this is hard to bear."

Professor Miriam Martinez received the President's Distinguished Achievement Award for Research Achievement, Tenured and Tenure-Track Faculty.
Assistant Professor Carola Wenk also was honored with the President's Distinguished Achievement Award for Research Achievement, Tenured and Tenure-Track Faculty.
The convocation honors recipients of teaching, research and service awards and acknowledges recent retirees.------------------------------
Cathy Key
Cathy Key is a senior lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and has been a faculty member at UTSA since the fall of 1998.
She teaches beginning-level computer science courses that build a foundation for students pursuing a C.S. degree. Her excellence in teaching is the key to retaining students at a time when most are experiencing their first challenges to achieving their goals.
One nominator said about Key: "Throughout her career, Cathy Key has championed the need for creating an atmosphere of collaborative and innovative programs which serve UTSA students, local high school students and their teachers in a more productive way."
When the C.S. department transitioned from C to Object-Oriented Java in their entry-level courses, Key helped write the new curriculum to include case studies and hands-on class activities.
Additionally, she became the coordinator for the beginning programming course, and her curriculum was the first within the department to utilize WebCT in its entirety, which is now the standard for all beginner courses.
Key is a leader in community outreach because of her background and interest in high school C.S. curriculum. When the number of high school students who wanted to declare C.S. as their major declined, she recognized the need for them to learn more about C.S. degrees and careers. This led to the creation of the C.S. Ambassador Program.
Another nominator said, "Cathy Key is held in very high esteem among the C.S. faculty. She shows tireless commitment to improving curriculum and developing outreach programs that serve both the department and the university."
Miriam Martinez
Miriam Martinez is a professor in the Department of Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching, and she has made a name for herself in the area of children's literature and the reading of literary texts.
What separates her work from the pack is the major impact it has made in the field. Her investigations have changed the way teachers and children interact around books and how teachers evaluate and select books for classroom use.
Martinez has been steadfast in her pursuit of critical questions regarding children's literary reading and the construction of meaning. Her studies revealed the power of the talk that surrounds parent-child interactions with picture books and identified the value of repeated readings with young children.
She also researches the ways in which children's engagements with books in the classroom impact their development of literacy and literacy understanding.
Martinez has been a leader in translating her research into useful ways for practitioners at all levels of education to find sound guidance and support. Her body of work includes 42 referenced journal articles, 9 invited journal articles, 17 book chapters and 36 columns for Language Arts, one of the top journals in literacy research for practitioners.
In 2006, the International Reading Association bestowed its prestigious Arbuthnot Award to Martinez for her lifetime achievement and contribution to the teaching of children's literature.
One of her nominators said, "Beyond these clear markers of academic success in publishing her research, what most impresses me about Miriam Martinez is her ability to develop a research agenda that truly speaks to the needs and issues of literacy education today."
Carola Wenk
Carola Wenk is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science. She received her doctorate from Free University in Berlin, Germany, in 2002 and was an assistant researcher at the University of Arizona for two years before coming to UTSA in 2004.
In 2007, Wenk became the only junior faculty member in the College of Sciences with a current National Science Foundation Career Award. The highly prestigious award guarantees her more than $400,000 in grants over 5 years.
Her research will center on the application and theory of geometric shape handing, and the objective is to help increase speed, quality and productivity of shape handling. Her other research contributions include fundamental advances in computational geometry, algorithms, discrete mathematics and computational biology.
Wenk currently has 13 journal and 12 refereed conference publications in computer science and computational biology venues.
She is a program committee member of the Eighth International Conference on Mobile Data Management, has given many invited talks and has been a reviewer for a large number of conferences and journals. Additionally, She received a NSF award in 2006, a seed grant from the UTSA Computational Biology Initiative in 2006 and a UTSA Faculty Research Award in 2005.
Said one nominator: "In only three years as a tenure-track faculty member here at UTSA, Carola Wenk has made significant research contributions to computer science and computational biology. These achievements have been nationally and internationally recognized. By winning a highly prestigious NSF Career Award, she greatly supports UTSA's mission to reach premier university status."

Both NZ First list MP Richard Prosser's "Wogistan" diatribe and the furore surrounding Zero Dark Thirty, the Academy Award-nominated film about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, are reminders that we still live in the shadow of 9/11 and are still searching for a consensus on the most effective and appropriate way to combat 21st century terrorism with its global reach and appetite for destruction.
Prosser's call for Muslims to be banned from Western airlines invited various reactions ranging from disgust to disbelief, via cynicism - a great advertisement for MMP - and facetiousness: so if Sonny Bill Williams returns to rugby and makes the 2015 World Cup squad, he should have to hitch a ride to England on a container ship while the rest of the team flies business class?
The outburst represents a small victory for terrorism. As the term implies, the object of terrorism is to instil fear. Fear can sap the target group's will to resist, thereby leading to appeasement: if we give the terrorists some of what they want, they'll stop terrorising us.
Or fear can make the target group paranoid, causing it to overreact, thereby validating the terrorists' world view and call to arms (in this case that the West wants to destroy Islam), and repudiating its own core values.
At the heart of al-Qaeda's loathing of the West is the knowledge that in the battle for Muslim hearts and minds, particularly those of the younger generation, secular democracy poses a strategic threat to its preferred model of theocratic authoritarianism.
Rhetoric like Prosser's is a propaganda gift enabling Islamists to say "we told you so: we told you the West's fine talk about diversity and human rights was hypocritical."
Likewise the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq played into bin Laden's hands by conforming to his narrative of the West as modern crusaders intent on humiliating and subjugating the Muslim world.
One school of counter-terrorism argues that terrorist attacks, even those on the scale of 9/11, should be seen as crimes rather than acts of war.
Its adherents point to "the Troubles" in Northern Ireland in which 3256 people were killed compared with the 2996 who died in the 9/11 attacks. Despite provocations such as the assassination of Lord Mountbatten and the Brighton bombing which nearly wiped out Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet, the British by and large treated the Irish problem as one of law and order.
The counter-argument is that Northern Ireland is constitutionally part of Great Britain and the British were caught in the middle of a political and ethno-religious struggle between Catholic Republicans and Protestant Loyalists, therefore comparisons with the fight against al- Qaeda are invalid. It could also be pointed out that it took three decades to end the conflict in which 2 per cent of Northern Ireland's population were killed or injured. In an American context, that would amount to 10 times as many casualties as the US suffered in Vietnam.
Zero Dark Thirty begins with audio recordings of cries for help from the upper floors of the World Trade Centre. The opening scene takes place at a "black ops" site where a CIA agent is attempting to break an al-Qaeda operative. Thereafter the protagonists' obsessive, often brutal, pursuit of bin Laden is punctuated by terrorist attacks like the July 7, 2007 London public transport bombings.
The film-makers have been accused of glorifying torture. While there's ongoing dispute over whether or not torture extracted information which ultimately led to bin Laden, that's not really the point. History and common sense tell us torture will sometimes get results.
The real message of these harrowing scenes is that in its paranoia the US, a signatory to various accords and conventions which deem torture to be morally indefensible, abandoned its principles.
Zero Dark Thirty will disappoint those expecting an action blockbuster. The pay-off takes up a small portion of its 157-minute span and comes after a painstaking, unspectacular build-up.
Not your usual dumbed-down, jazzed-up Hollywood rewrite of history, in other words.
The US withdrawal from Afghanistan marks the end of the George W. Bush phase of the war on terror. Barack Obama's weapon of choice is the unmanned drone.
While the drone programme is a logical (and cost-effective in terms of blood and treasure) response to terrorism, criticism is mounting. Those who deplore the drones have to answer the question: what is the most effective and appropriate way to combat terrorism?

Best Buy Stock Has 30% Upside, CS Says
Best Buy stock is among the best performers of the day, up nearly 9%, after Credit Suisse resume coverage and raised its target price.
Shares of Best Buy (BBY) were up $2.44, or 8.92%, to $29.77 headed into the close. Credit Suisse raised its price target to $40, from $32, meaning the stock could rise more than 30% from the current price.
Despite skepticism about Best Buy's ability to escape Amazon.com (AMZN) competition, Credit Suisse says other retailers that have undergone management change illustrate that Best Buy stock could still have room to run.
Credit Suisse thinks the long-term benefits of new selling agreements with Samsung Electronics (005930KS) and Microsoft (MSFT), aren't reflected in the current price. Best Buy could produce earnings of $5, according to Credit Suisse, whose analyst write:
"Many investors ... feel they missed it, as the stock has doubled off its bottom. Yet ... there are multiple examples among retailers, including PetSmart (PETM), Tractor Supply (TSCO), Pier 1 Imports (PIR), Home Depot (HD), and Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance (ULTA) where a management change led to those stocks rising multifold, in some cases over 10 times their starting price. Best Buy offers a completely revamped internal infrastructure, a new approach to serving and partnering with customers, a significantly improved omni-channel effort and a disciplined approach to expenses, all elements of improving ROIC [return on invested capital] that characterized others. If there is one line to describe the change, it is that Best Buy is turning its store base from a cost liability to an offensive weapon, part of its multi-fanged distribution approach to customer satisfaction."
