Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger and his side travel to White Hart Lane for the hotly-anticipated North London derby on Sunday so, to find out more, we also asked journalist Paul Hirst for his thoughts and analysis.
"Spurs are beginning to look a strong team again. The Adebayor and Defoe partnership has pace, aerial ability and firepower while the combination of speed and guile in wide areas is a major threat.
"However, Spurs play with just two central midfielders so Arsenal's three must and should dominate possession and control the flow of the game. If they don't, Arsenal's back four will be fully tested."
"I think Adebayor is going to be a big player in this game - that's the main route they're going to go down. I can see Bale being the main outlet down the flanks and he'll be drifting crosses in all the time.
"They will have watched the match from Wednesday and seen the free header the player from Olympiacos had and saw where the weaknesses are that they might exploit.
"I think Van der Vaart will play a key part. It is always difficult with him to find where he's going to sit in the team, and I think Harry Redknapp likes to play Adebayor and Defoe up front. It is always hard to fit Van der Vaart around those two but you just can't leave him out of this team because he has the ability to just turn the match with one shot, one cross or one pass. He is the irresistible player you can't leave out.
"I just think the way the Tottenham players gel together and play together when they go forward has such an understanding. Regardless of how quick they break and how pacy their attacks are they just seem to know where everybody is supposed to be.
"The passion and vision that Bale, Modric and Parker - even though he hasn't been there long - have is very interesting. Even though they play at full pelt they seem to know where one another are.
"It is a difficult one to predict. I will probably go for a narrow Spurs victory. There is going to be goals, that's for sure. I'll say maybe 3-2 or 4-3 maybe."

Reviews of this property
A great apartment with a very friendly host meant that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Paris. Nylda made our book in process so very easy and friendly, going out of her way to help us with car parking (to park underneath the apartment is simple and well worth the money) and finding our way around the local area. The apartment is basic but is perfect for young families as the little people won't have anything to break. If you are looking for a simple and comfortable apartment, brilliantly placed to get into Paris by Metro, then this is an excellent choice to make.
We had a nice stay in this appartment. Everything is like it is described by the owner. The only negative point I would like to mention is that there is no equipment for cleaning. It means that if you have breakfast and leave some crumbs on the floor, which is normal I think, at lunch time you will see some ants enjoying themselfs with those crumbs. It would be easy to prevent that. We noticed that in the Dutch description (by google translate) it is mentioned that people have the choice between cleaning themselves or pay a fee of 40 euro if you don't want to clean yourself. Strangely enough this text is different in English where it is only mentioned that the cleaning fee is 40 euro. So I would say better to read the original text as it is not always updated by Wimdu.
We had a nice time in this flat.
Perfect was the parcing-place for the car. So behind the house there was a cloesd area where you can only enter with a key.
Perfect was also the near metro-station, only 4 minutes to walk. In 15-20 min. you are at the Champs-Elysees.
The kitchen and the bathroom are not extremly clean.
It doesn't matter, so we stay the whole day in Paris.
We need the kitchen only for breakfast.
The beds are o.k.and it's good to have a living-room and two seperate sleeping-rooms.
Nylda is nice and told us some informations (supermarket/Metro).
It's no problem to check in or out. You can contact her about handy.
We booked this appartement because it has a parking, two bedrooms and near by the metro. We stayed here 4 dayes with 4 persons.
It fulfilled our expectations and even more. The 'boulangerie' is so nearby that we ate every day very fresh and even warm bread and luxury. I even had a cup of coffee from the owner, because i had to wait for my favorite sandwiches.
The bedrooms a very nice and we have also used the balkonny. But must of all we preferred the distancy to the subway. Perfect.
Nylda, the owner, is very nice en thoughtfull.
We definately wil come back again.
Excellent starting point for a visit to Paris. Metro 400 meters. Boulangerie around the corner. Supermarket 600 meters. Pre is the parking lot behind the apartment. Apartment is basic but spacious enough for 4 people. We were very warmly received by Nylda. Short for luxury you should look elsewhere but for our purpose was certainly this property a great starting point with a right price / quality ratio. We would like to recommend this property whatsoever.
Prima uitgangspunt voor een bezoek aan Parijs. Metro op 400 meter. Boulangerie om de hoek. Supermarkt op 600 meter. Pre is de parkeerplaats achter de flat. Appartement is eenvoudig maar ruim genoeg voor 4 personen. We werden zeer hartelijk ontvangen door Nylda. Kortom voor luxe moet je iets anders zoeken maar voor onze doelstellig was deze accommodatie een prima uitgangspunt met een juiste prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Wij bevelen deze accommodatie dan ook graag aan.
We had nice days in Paris. The apartment is good for 4 people and the we get a lot of hints from the landlady.
We can recommend this apartment. Short way to the Metro and parkingplace.
Bernd and Uschi
We have had a very nice time in Paris and it was very convenient to stay in the nice apartment in a very short distance from a metro station.
We enjoyed our stay. Large & lots of room for four adults & one child.
A very nice breeze through the apartment when the windows are open
Convenient location.
Would have been better to have a more comfortable mattress, other than this no concerns.
The apartment is simple and equipped with the basic necessities. All furniture, beds and equipment are present but outdated. The apartment has a separate bedroom twwe bathroom cubicle and toilet. At the front it is located on a busy street with lots of traffic. There is a balcony. The apartment is located in a predominantly residential area with high-rise buildings, and immigrant residents. Shops and Metro are five minutes walk away. There is a separate parking space but not beveilgd, at the rear. Note the lovely lady in the picture that can be seen on the website is not the landlady. The landlady is a friendly older indian lady. The cleaning must be paid an amount of € 30, however, it was clean at all. We therefore yourself cleaned and the app schooner left than we have been.
Het appartement is eenvoudig en voorzien van de basic benodigdheden. Alle meubels, bedden en apparatuur zijn aanwezig maar sterk verouderd. Het appartement heeft twwe slaapkamers een aparte badcel, en toilet.
Aan de voorkant is het gelegen aan een drukke straat met veel verkeerslawaai. Er is een balkon.
Het appartement is gelegen in een woonwijk met overwegend hoogbouw, en allochtone bewoners. Winkels en metro zijn op vijf min loopafstand.
Er is een aparte parkeerplek maar niet beveilgd, aan de achterzijde.
NB de mooie dame op de foto die te zien is op de website is niet de verhuurster. De verhuurster is een oudere vriendelijke indische dame.
Voor de schoonmaak moet een bedrag van €30 betaald worden echter, schoon was het allerminst. Wij hebben daarom zelf maar schoongemaakt en het app schooner achter gelaten dan dat we het gekregen hebben.
We enjoyed our 7 night stay at this flat in Paris. The host was helpful and friendly and the flat was clean and comfortable. The location is ideal with a bakery situated less than a 5 minute walk away which is perfect for breakfast and there are two supermarkets a little further down. The metro is also a 5 minute walk away which can take you to the Champs Elysée in around 25 minutes. We would stay here again!

If you've got a lot of stuff lying around your garage, then you're probably knocking over bikes and tripping over building materials more than you'd like. Check out this collection of clever, simple, low-cost garage storage tips that will instantly get your bikes, tools, construction materials and lawn equipment off the floor and out from under foot.
Plastic lattice works well for storing long lengths of miscellaneous pipe, trim, flashing and conduit. Just cut matching pieces, then screw 2x4 cleats to the ceiling and screw the lattice to the wall studs and cleats. Now you can quickly find those oddball leftovers instead of going to the hardware store and buying yet another piece.
Here's how to store your lawn and folding chairs so they're out of your way. Take two pieces of 1x4 lumber (any scrap lumber will do) and create some simple, cheap and useful brackets on the wall. Cut each board 7-3/4 in. long with a 30-degree angle on both ends. Fasten pairs of these brackets with three 2-in. screws to the side of the exposed wall studs, directly across from each other, and you've got a perfect place to hang your chairs.
Elastic cords can quickly become a tangled mess. Find the one you need at a glance with this handy rack made from 3- or 4-in. PVC pipe. Just drill 1/2-in.- diameter holes in the pipe to match the slightly stretched lengths of your cords. Keep it in your garage, trunk or shop, out of the reach of children.
Hanging electrical cords and hoses on thin hooks or nails can cause kinks and damage the sheathing and wires. Use pieces of 3-in. ABS plastic plumbing pipe to make simple, inexpensive hangers.
Screw 3-in. end caps to a 2x6 with two 1-5/8-in. screws. Fender washers under the screw heads keep them from pulling through the plastic. Then cement on 8-in. lengths of end-capped pipe. These "hooks" are very strong!
Build this moveable bike rack from a 2x4 and a pair of bicycle hooks. Cut four 3-1/2-in. blocks, stack two on top of each other, and screw them together. Now screw them on the end of a 4-ft. 2x4 and repeat the process for the other side. Drill a hole in the middle of the stacked blocks and screw in the bicycle hooks. Lay the rack across your garage ceiling joists, and hang your bike from the hooks. When you need to get behind the bike, simply slide the entire rack out of the way.
Closet pole and shelf brackets can also keep your bikes up and out of the way of car doors and bumpers. Just screw the brackets to the wall studs. Line the pole carriage with self-stick hook-and-loop strips so it won't scratch your bike frame.
Cut an old hose into 7-in. pieces, slit them, and nail them to the wall to make good holders for handled tools in the garage.
Shelf brackets designed to support clothes hanger rods aren't just for closets. The rod-holding hook on these brackets comes in handy in the garage and workshop too. You can bend the hook to suit long tools or cords. Closet brackets cost about $3 each at home centers and hardware stores.
Use this storage rack for lumber and other long stuff. Simply drill a line of 3/4-in. holes about 1-1/2 in. deep in adjacent studs, angling the holes slightly downward. Then insert 15-in.-long sections of 1/2-in.-galvanized pipe. Keep the lowest pipes at least 6 ft. above the floor so you won't crack your skull on them.
Stow bulky items overhead by cementing together a simple rack from 2-in. PVC pipes and fittings. Bolt the straight pipe to the ceiling joists to support heavy loads, and screw the angled pieces from the "wye" connectors into the cross brace to stabilize the whole rack. The PVC's smooth surface makes for easy loading and unloading.
Create a simple long-handled tool hanger out of two 1x4s. On the first one, drill a series of 2-in. holes along the edge of the board. The trick is to center each hole about 1 in. from the edge. That leaves a 1- 1/2-in. slot in the front that you can slip the handles through. Space the holes to accommodate whatever it is you're hanging. Screw that board to another 1x4 for the back and add 45-degree brackets to keep it from sagging.
Store a load of cords, air hoses, ropes and tools on this
rugged rack. To build one, you'll need:
Assemble the pipe, elbows, nipples and floor flanges, then screw through the flanges to a horizontal 2x4 set at shoulder height on a garage or shop wall. Attach your S-hooks. If yours don't fit, clamp the hooks in a vise and bend open one end just enough to fit on the pipe after assembly. Now snap Cable Clamps on all your coils and hang them from the S-hooks.


text: The last two times i grafted the queens have emerged early. the first time time only a day or so. This time this is how it went... I grafted very young larvae a week ago yesterday. today i went to move the cells into mating nucs and 2 of them had emerged. It should be day twelve since egg laid. I am reasonably sure that the larvae i grafted were indeed 24 hours or less old. very small, just in white jelly stage. by everything i have read, i should not have had emergence at this stage. Our temps have been 102, 105, 107, 105, for the last 4 days, is this the issue? Or am i missing something? I am still working on the jzsbzs cup still having royal jelly when emerging. They seem to be empty, but the queens i am producing are large and fat. and they once mated lay well! I am looking for consistency.

Pop-up Holiday Stop features handmade gifts from 30 entrepreneurs
Vanguard Community Development Corp. has turned two vacant storefronts on Woodward Avenue into an 11-day holiday shopping and community experience called The Grand + Woodward Holiday Stop.
It's the second year Vanguard has staged the holiday pop-up, created last year as a two-day event that was part of a partnership with ProsperUS Detroit's entrepreneurial training programs, said Jennifer Ruud, marketing/communications coordinator at Vanguard.
This year's Holiday Stop, which will be open through Dec. 22, features more than 30 entrepreneurs (some of whom have gone through ProsperUS Detroit's classes) selling mostly handcrafted goods and foods.
Also new this year is a variety of children's activities on weekends, such as Santa Claus visits, storytelling, and holiday-themed arts and crafts.
All events and activities are free.
The space for the Holiday Stop, just south of Grand Boulevard, sat vacant for three years before Vanguard leased it from Southfield-based NAI Farbman and refurbished it.
"We cleaned the entire space and painted all the walls with the hope that businesses will move in permanently after the event is over," said Ruud.
If that happened, they would move next year's Holiday Stop to another location, she said.

Hi, all! I want to know if the bees sleep at night time too? I caught one resting on the carrot plants enjoying the warm sun.
But at night time when I check their hives they are feeding and very active than the day time.
So wonder if they ever sleep during the night? Or they are up all night with insomnia or something.

Re: bread
welcome to the forum westy81
Do you think you could write down the recipe / recipes that you are using for us and also tell us the method that you use to make the bread .
Its a bit difficult to know what is going wrong unill we can see what you are using to make the bread or how you are making it.
It is probably easily fixable once we know .

Re: bread
I use the standard recipe on the flour pack.
500g Bread Flour
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Sugar
15ml Olive/Veg Oil
7g Packet Yeast
300ml Warm Water
1.Add flour, salt,yeast and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Add oil and water and mix to form a soft dough.
2.Knead for 10 mins until smooth and elastic.
3.Shape dough on a baking tray or place in a tin, cover and leave to rise for 30-45 mins in a warm place.
4.Bake in a pre heated oven for15 mins at 230. Then reduce the heat to 200 and cook for another 15 mins.
That is it. it tastes nice enough. It is just really dense and heavy.
Thanks for any help.

Re: bread
Its the oil making it heavy, when i do the same recipe the bread is heavier, sounds like a Ciabatta.

Do I just omit the oil or do i need to add something else?

This is the basic everyday recipe, no oil no butter. If you are looking for a smaller loaf, i would just half the portions.

text: Hi all, Typically my 04 silverado v8 5.3L with 117k miles usually warms up to about 210 (or slightly less than 1/2 the gauge) and holds the temp. Lately, it has been temping up to over 210, then falling back down and holding them temp. This worries me because its a-typical behavior and in the past i have heard from a mechanic (while i owned a diff car that had over heating probs) that you want your car to temp up and hold a temp. no fluctuations. This worries me as it has just started happening (with no other issue to blame) and i dont want it to persist. I should add that i have not had the vehicle's 100k mile service yet (plugs, wires, coolant flush, etc. have NOT been done, i cannot afford it and dont want to do a coolant flush myself lest i make the situation worse) but that made no difference in the 100k-115k interim, so why now would the truck begin to temp up then go back down and hold? God forbid it one day does not hold its temp and actually over heats. Are there any fail-safes in place that will save me from smoking the motor if it does decide not to hold its temp and actually over heat? I can only guess that it temp'ing up then going back down and holding is from the radiator kicking in but it never did this in the past. Also im going to be taking a closer look at this problem so that I can accurately describe it better. The over heat (if you can call it that) only appears to happen on the first start of the day, subsequent cold starts (like the 2nd start after an 8hr work day) do not seem to have this over-heat-then-steady problem as the 1st start of the day has. And it also only appears to happen on "colder" days, as hot days dont seem to affect it (this is only my hunch and i cannot confirm this 100%) Anyways, any help is gladly appreciated.

I've been doing this radio thing for over 35 years now. I've been a part of the morning show since 1986. Since I was a kid, I've loved to read. I read the newspaper each day nearly cover to cover – usually not the classifieds though. I get a lot of ideas for my Daily Data segment just by reading the paper. I'm a lifelong Bills and Sabres fan, and I've been a regular in the press box of both teams since 1979 -- but I'm still waiting for one of them to win a championship! Four cracks at it for the Bills and two for the Sabres, and they came up short. I was born and raised in the Buffalo area. I went to school at Niagara University, and since Clay went to Canisius, we get to raz each other twice each year when the Eagles and Griffs meet to play basketball. I have a large collection of records. I'm one of the few that still has the old vinyl, including a lot of old 45s in their original sleeves. Some kids probably have no idea what I'm talking about at this point. My favorite things to do in my spare time are bike riding and fixing things around the house, and each fall, I officiate high school football games.

Home › Forums › General Forums › SuperUltraLight (SUL) Backpacking Discussion › SUL – HOT EAST 2 Nighter
Jul 30, 2011 at 6:01 am #1277411
Suggestions please. Only thing I did not like was my pad was cut too small. I do not want to buy anything for this trip coming up. I plan to do 20 mile days. I will be in hot, humid climate with chance of thunderstorms.
Over three years ago…
In 'SuperUltraLight: Breaking the Five-Pound Barrier' by Ryan Jordan (2003-08-06), I read "…the reason the fringe isn't being explored is simple: it's the fringe. And there is not a lot of gear or education to help people explore it." Does this remain true today? Can someone like me without extensive backpacking experience go SUL with an adequate level of safety and reasonable comfort? Would it be fun?
Fortunately for "fringe" explorers, gear and education have both changed for the better over the past four years since Ryan's paradigm shifting article. For those of us seeking a superultralight backpacking (SUL) experience, neither not-yet-light-enough gear nor traditional fears are valid excuses for giving up on SUL. Several well-run gear companies make and sell very light gear for backpacking. While many of their products are far from cheap, affordability is within the reach for true enthusiasts. Now we have books and magazines dedicated to the subject of light backpacking as well as web sites with light backpacking forums, research articles, product reviews, and unselfish, articulate gurus. Life aint bad if you want to try SUL in 2008. I, for one, am going to try SUL on my next backpacking trip.
How did I get there? Carefully, I assembled my SUL gear list by making adjustments to the gear configuration I'd used recently that gave me an adequate level of safety and reasonable comfort. The SUL article's gear list enabled me to compare item by item to my gear list to see where I had opportunities to lighten up. This process took me several iterations, a tremendous amount of thought, and, in the end, a gut check. Eventually I arrived at a SUL configuration that I believe maintains an adequate level of safety and reasonable comfort for me. We'll see.
Heeding the caveat of the article, I am strongly confident that I "have the ability to forecast challenging scenarios, develop contingency plans, and implement those plans when things go awry" from previous backpacking experiences albeit with more gear. Because I'll have "little room for error", a bit of advice from the article that I will follow is to not venture too many miles from my car. I will hike where there are plenty of connecting, loop trails so I cover plenty of miles, but not venture extremely far from my car. I'm hoping I will have fun.
My SUL Gear List
updated in later post
My gear config worked well during June. One problem: I "over customized" my pad. During deep sleep shifting I'd push it about 1/2 way off. Fortunately the ground was not too hard or cold. I'm going to buy more 3/8 from GG and try again. The pad was great until I kept cutting more and more off.
Had plenty of insulation with the Cocoon hoody/pant. When I first went to sleep, I just used the 2/3 XP quilt because it was comfortable with that alone in the bivy. Woke in a couple of hours and put on the hoody. Later I put on the cocoon pant and was fine until morning.
I will try the Cocoons again this Fall, but they'll be unnecessary in the heat and humidity mid-July thru August in my neck of the woods.
I will hike with VFF or TGs. I have three more years backpacking experience so am confident to drop more weight than I did previously.Jul 30, 2011 at 7:22 am #1764621

It would informative to me if SUL Gear Lists included a line regarding Location, typical/anticipated Precipitation, as well as high and low Temperatures:
"Georgia. Expect afternoon showers. Temps 95 to 75."
"Arizona desert. Never rains. Temps 105 to 85."
"Colorado CDT. Thunderstorm every day. Temps 65 to 35."
And their might be other "Qualifiers" which would help others understand the environment.
Just a thought.Jul 30, 2011 at 2:18 pm #1764694

George, The list looks real solid. I hike the same region, but typically try to avoid hiking between Memorial Day and Labor Day because of the heat. But I do try to hike both of those weekends. This is when I carry my "summer" gear. Generally I do not carry any insulation garmets and I am fine. Not sure if you are interested in spending money or not, but one of my favorite items is a JRB stealth. You could loose the cocoon hoody and the 2/3 xp bag replacing with the stealth. If you happen to catch a chilly morning then you could first dawn the windshirt and second put on the stealth in poncho mode. The other thing I do is swap out my regular bivy (MYOG or MLD superlight) with a MLD bug bivy. I really prefer sleeping in it during the warmer months. I'm always trying new things but a typically summer set for me is….
MLD cuben grace
MLD bug bivy
Dry Ducks Jacket (no pants) or Marmot Mica
JRB Stealth
Sometimes I swap out the Grace Solo for an ID poncho tarp and Golite Wisp Winshirt. Either of these setups has me below 5 lbs base.
Overall your list looks great. Just trying to give you some ideas.

+1 for the wearable quilt and nixing the cocoon hoody. I hike mostly in GA, NC area, and so far haven't found much of a reason to need two layers of insulation.
I actually made myself a quilt similar to the Stealth, except made out of Apex 2.5 to be a bit better with moisture. It was pretty simple to make and pretty inexpensive. It works great and fits under my size L montane windshirt fits over it nicely to keep the size in control and add warmth. It is my favorite piece of gear right now and comes in at 13oz using 1.1oz ripstop nylon instead of more expensive m50 or m55.
I have so far only had maybe 2 mornings this summer where I wore my quilt as a poncho, but it worked great for those mornings and kept me from carrying gear I didn't need.
If you don't want to make a purchase at all, you could try Glen Van Peski's trick to wrap your quilt around you and put your windshirt on over it.
Your list looks really fixed in. Thanks for sharing it with us. I love seeing lists from our area.Jul 31, 2011 at 10:04 am #1764888
Thanks for the suggestions. One of my goals is to not buy anything based purely on weight.
I do not have a Stealth 18oz quilt, but do have a No Sniveller 20oz.
The 2Thirds + Cocoon is 20.1 oz. So looks pretty close.
I will give serious thought to using the 2Thirds as insulation instead of Cocoon or taking my Merino UL hoody 8.5 oz.
If I decide to go higher elevation then I will probably take the merino hoody, otherwise I will use the 2Thirds.
For now I will adjust my list by taking off the Cocoon and adding the merino hoody. Then leave that if I go lower elevation.
Just finished a trip in CA where the Cocoon was a real nice needed item so my mind is still acclimating. : )Jul 31, 2011 at 10:21 am #1764894

George, You are getting close to the edge! I like it. I love my BPL hoody, but at the weights you are approaching I would consider dropping it as long as the temps are no lower than 50 degrees at night. If the temps dip below 60 then you will probaly be fine to put on the houdini as it gets colder zip up the hood. Now if temps will dip below 50 I vote for bringing the wool hoody. Add it first then add the windshirt if it gets into low 40's. If the temps are going to get lower than consider adding a fleece cap.
JamieJul 31, 2011 at 6:05 pm #1765001
Using 50 as a cutoff makes sense. Thanks.
I might be able to work in a one nighter soon. Temperatures permitting, I will go without the hoody.Jul 31, 2011 at 6:23 pm #1765003

Other possibilities for shaving grams and ounces….since you're at it:
Toilet paper- nix
Antibacterial wipes- nix, you already have Bonners soap
Capilene boxers and Royal Robbins Shorts- replace both with a lightweight running short w/ liner
Gerber knife- could you pack a single razor blade?
Scissors- you have a knife, probably don't need scissors
3 stuff sacks- reduce these down to one stuff sack, your poncho tarp can be loosely stuffed in the pack alongside your bivy, keeps things simple.Aug 1, 2011 at 10:00 am #1765150
Eugene, So no mercy on my poor pitiful soul : )
Definitely will drop down to one stuff sack and razor will replace both scissor na knife. I've tried the running shorts with liners. Ended up cutting out the liners. The TP and/or wipes nixes will be considered. You are ruthless!
I'm going to make a few adjustments and create my COOL EAST gear list, too.

Nice lists.
Guys with gray beards have earned the right to carry TP.
I would get rid of some of the sacks as mentioned by Eugene… also use cuben sacks.
I bought a pair of Maui Jim bifocal sun glasses. The bottom are "readers" so I can leave my glasses at home. I normally wear glasses all day. Not optimal for night reading or tasks though. These weigh 0.6 oz.
With my cuben quilt, I have gotten rid of the bivy, even with a poncho tarp. I know you are not looking to buy any new gear, and you have more rain than me.
I hate liners in shorts and cut them out too.
Do you ever use the moleskin with your new footwear?Aug 2, 2011 at 5:52 am #1765443
Appreciate your suggestions. I will reassess my sacks and think about the bifocal sun glasses. This past year my eyes' distance requirement exceeded my arm's length. So it is either take my bifocals or get longer arms. : )
I read about your cuben quilt in another one of your recent posts. I'm looking at the possibility. The not buying anything and trying to get by with what I have is just something I wanted to do for a while. We'll see how long that lasts!
The moleskin? Like the patches for blisters? I've been wearing liner socks with both the VFFs and TGs. Have not gotten blisters yet, but get some rubbed spots. I'm not a REAL runner like you and the other ex-track guys. I usually run a little over six miles on Sat and Sun mornings. Some weeks I don't get a chance to run during the weekdays. Others I get in a couple of late day 4 milers. However, for the first time in my life I'm really enjoying running. If I found a bottle with a genie and got three wishes, then one of them would be to become a 100 mile ultrarunner. Meanwhile I will work on getting up to 10 : )Aug 7, 2011 at 10:57 pm #1767060

Over the last several years, we've seen a rash of modern styled updates to the fairy tales. By modern, I don't always mean that the tales are set in the modern world, though especially in the cinema. While the recent version of Beauty and the Beast was set in modern times, the recent versions of Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and Snow White and the Huntsmen were still ostensibly set in medieval times, but with a 21st century action movie aesthetic.
Over the last decade or so, there has been another tendency with retelling fairy stories, one that has taken a very meta course. Rather than a retelling of the story, the stories take on a life of their own. There are plenty of examples of bringing the classic stories into the new cultures and situations, but the meta narrative fairy tales go a step further, bringing the characters out of their worlds and into a modern context, while still maintaining their own sense of where they came from. You can see examples of these meta fairy tales in Bill Willingham's Fables comic series, the TV Show Once Upon a Time and Allan Moore's tawdry Lost Girls just to name a very few. These meta fairy tales bring together characters from many myths and legends in a mash-up story, playing off easily recognizable archetypes to tell new stories.

Elizabethton plans to demolish old North American Rayon buildings
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - There are just broken windows and growing weeds at two huge vacant buildings in the heart of Elizabethton. City leaders recently decided to make the former North American Rayon buildings a thing of the past.
Deserted and damaged, two of the old North American Rayon buildings are past their prime, and city leaders are ready for a change in scenery. Both buildings will be torn down by the end of the year.
But some residents say it's a shame. "I think it's a historical site for Elizabethton. My grandma used to work there back when she was 14-years-old and that was a long time ago, so I hate to see it go," said resident Brian Disoso.
News 5 learned the buildings were bought by M and R Acquisitions out of Alabama with plans to improve the properties. "Typically what they'll [company] do is salvage what they can from the building and then from there they will take the rest to a landfill," said Jon Hartman, Director of Planning and Development.
Both buildings are considered old industrial sites and we learned the EPA determined the properties 'Brown Fields' which means there are pollutants in the ground. "The company we're working with is actually already in contact with Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to make sure that all environmental issues are taken care of," added Hartman.
But these properties do have a future, city leaders are working to bring in hotels and restaurants.
Some residents say it's time for the eyesores to be a thing of the past. "I'm ready for the buildings to come down, put something in, maybe bring a couple jobs to our town," said resident Scott Mann.
City leaders say they're working to get grant money from the EPA to do more environmental studies on the properties. Those studies will make sure the pollutants will not affect residents along with the newly constructed buildings.

Caring for Cuba's Cats
Posted by Leslie Balog in Caribbean, Guest Posts on 11th January, 2012 | 2 Comments
Walking along the bustling streets of Havana, you hear a tiny cry. It's repeated. You look down to see a tiny yellow kitten with newly opened eyes staring up. As the animal focuses on you, its pitiful meows become more insistent…..it needs you. Though Cuba provides full health care free-of-charge to its citizens and low cost pet assistance, the situation of stray cats and dogs has gotten out of control. Meet two people doing something about it, with the results to prove it!

A teenager admitted on the stand Wednesday she had claimed to be an adult on her Facebook profile page when she chatted with Kevin Kelly.
During cross-examination on Day 3 of the former journalist's trial at provincial court in St. John's, Kelly's lawyer confronted the girl about the falsified information.
Mike King pointed out that she listed — and still did list as recently as last week — her date of birth on her profile page as 1988, which would have made her 23 at the time she and Kelly messaged each other.
She was actually 14.
King added that her profile also notes she's a student at Memorial University, when she is, in fact, entering Grade 12 in the fall.
The girl said she entered a fake birth date when she created her Facebook profile — while she was in Grade 6 — because she wasn't old enough at the time to have a Facebook account, and hasn't changed it since because she never thought about it again.
Kelly — a former editor with the Newfoundland Herald — is accused of sending the girl inappropriate messages through Facebook between December 2011 and January 2012.
He's pleaded not guilty to a charge of luring a child under the age of 16 by means of a computer.
The girl told the court Tuesday when Kelly first messaged her on Facebook, he appeared to be interested in helping her pursue a modelling career and provided good advice, but then asked her personal and sexual questions about her measurements and her sex life.
But King continued to attack the girl's credibility.
Besides listing a false age, he questioned the girl's honesty on topics such as her co-operation with police and whether she felt uncomfortable or threatened by Kelly.
She reiterated that when the questions became personal, she became uncomfortable.
"You didn't stop talking to him, though. You kept talking to him," said King, pointing to a message from Kelly to the girl in which Kelly suggested they stop communicating. In it, Kelly called the teen his "dream girl," but said he loved his girlfriend of 22 years — to which the girl responded, "But can't we still be friends?" and "I'm not scared of you or anything."
Friends found it funny
The girl told King she found the chats with Kelly to be interesting, and that her friends — with whom she shared the Facebook conversations — found it funny.
King repeatedly asked the girl if she altered the content of their Facebook conversations. She repeatedly said she didn't.
He questioned if the girl actually told Kelly she was 14.
In previous testimony, the girl said she told Kelly her real age and that he said he was 38. Her friend — who took screen shots of the conversations — also testified that the girl did tell Kelly during one of their chats that she was 14.
King also asked why the girl deleted all her conversations with Kelly from Facebook after her parents learned about the messages and called the police.
"I didn't want to feel responsible for ruining someone's life," she said. "I just felt pressured."
King asked her if she really deleted them because she was worried she would get in trouble, which caused her to laugh.
"No, I knew I wasn't going to get in trouble," she replied.
Meanwhile, Kelly's former girlfriend testified that she wasn't aware of any of Kelly's Facebook activities, but said she didn't monitor his account.
She admitted their sex life at the time was "probably non-existent."
Former Newfoundland Herald managing editor Mark Dwyer took the stand and told the court of Kelly's duties while he worked there.
He said Kelly focused mostly on arts and entertainment stories and, as a result, attended many local events, including fashion shows.
"Other (Herald) reporters covered fashion shows," said Dwyer, who is now news director at NTV, "but Kevin seemed to have more of an interest in them than anybody else did."
Kelly — who entered the courtroom Wednesday on crutches after injuring his knee the day before when he was struck by a car — reportedly contacted the teen after seeing her in a fashion show.
Dwyer will be back on the stand July 16, when the trial continues.

text: It's been entirely too long since I built a bike so I figured I'd do something with my spaceliner. Got it scraped down to the chrome and threw a crutch sissy bar and nanner seat at it. Added an old guitar strap with the rubber crutch handle for back support and another roller blade allen bolt to hook it on. As well as a little embellishment. Pulled a little inspiration from the oldschool surfers with surfboards tied to the sissy bar of an old stingray, couldn't find any pictures of it but found this Well since I live in the middle of Indiana a surf board might seem out of place and a little hard to find so what does a surfer do when there's no waves? Sidewalk Surfing Still got to change the rear bolts, they are just there for mock up and it's snowing outside so I don't feel like running to the hardware store.


text: Hello everyone. Here's the issue. Im a 17 year old, wanting to buy a vehicle. I do not have a huge budget right now. I have always wanted an SUV particularly one of the ones mentioned in the title. I have been trying to convince my parents to allow me to buy one soon. So here is the question. Would a Suburban, Yukon, or Tahoe, between those years and the prices of 5-9k, with certification and e-test, but over 140 xxx km, be worth it for me? I just want a vehicle that will last a few years, nothing fancy, just point a to point b, but still keeping the vehicles I like. And looking at these vehicles, I still do really like them. Any help is great.

With faculty guidance, many students develop research projects during the semester or summer, both on campus and in field locations. Some of these projects may be funded by the Faculty Research Fund Board or the Biology Department with either part-time semester grants or full-time summer research fellowships. Students who complete research projects regularly publish papers in peer-reviewed journals and present their work at academic conferences such as the Ohio Academy of Sciences, the National Conference for Undergraduate Research, and the Benthic Ecology Meetings.
Independent Research Projects
- Assessing the potential impacts of coastal development on the grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio
- Ecological niche separation in two tropical nerite species
- Geographic variation in response of fiddler crabs to three hexose sugars
- Using molecular tools to identify species of fiddler crab larvae in a North Carolina estuary
- A comparison of sea cucumber population dynamics in protected and unprotected habitats near Chumbe Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania
- Herding limits water loss in the sand fiddler crab, Uca pugilator
- Fiddler crab feeding causes vertical migration in meiofauna
- Role of piling in the tricolored hermit crab
- Spatial and predation ecology of whelks in a shallow embayment in the Rachel Carson Reserve, Beaufort,

text: Well, probably not, but hopefully you've put air in it in the last few months. Most people love to hate them, actually. You can post up with whatever measure of love or hate you have for these things if you really want. But the real tech questions here are: how long do these things last in the trunk, and what do you do after that? Seems like I'm in charge of fleet maintenance for my adult children and they all have cars older than 10 years old so it would stand to reason that the temporary spares in them have "aged out," if you believe, even a little, that unused tires age out. So, should I replace them? With what, a real tire? Or another temporary spare? Where do you get one?

PORTLAND, Oregon — Did you ever look around, smile and think, "Yeah, I'm witnessing a part of local history tonight"? I had just that feeling the other night in Portlandia during the Rose City's first-ever Pudding Wrestling Massacre.
Don't worry. There was no death or blood. Just laughter and pudding. (Lots of laughter. Lots of pudding.)
The genius behind the weirdness is Ashley Ryon, a 28-year-old social media marketer currently living in PDX with dreams of making it big in SFO. While living in Vegas a few years ago, Ryon participated in a casino-sponsored mud wrestling tournament. When her friend made the rent after a night of wrestling, it got the wheels turning.
Ryon didn't create pudding wrestling, but she did put a pro wrestling spin on it. Grapplers on hand Friday night included Lacey Lacem (who wore lace), Honey Badger (who didn't give a shit) and Betty Knockers (who had big, well, you know…). The bouts of badasses in kiddie pools of pudding weren't staged, though. Only the strongest advanced.
And why pudding? First off, It's a little tastier than mud. Plus, it's slippery yet also easy to wash out of clothes. (And camera gear, thankfully.) What is tricky is finding wrestlers. Thankfully, a social networker was in charge and able to round up a group of grapplers.
"It's more the average girl next door that's interested in pudding wrestling," Ryon said.
In total Portlandia fashion, two of the judges were actually from Portlandia. One was a producer, the other a local bearded icon. (Side note: This is why I don't watch the show. I live it. For me, it's more a documentary than a comedy.) Another judge was a drag queen, and yet another the owner of the locally hip Voodoo Doughnut. Some were dressed in ugly sweaters that only Bill Cosby could envy. Not all could stay for the three-hour event, so Ryon got creative.
"Some guy begged me to be a judge," she said. "I told him, 'Well your dream is coming true tonight.'"
The event drew about 250 people. For those keeping score at home, Betty Knockers knocked out the competition to claim the championship belt. But who keeps score at Weird Sports?
"We're crossing our fingers that Portlandia had so much fun that they'll do a feature on it," said Ryon, who hopes to find sponsorship so that she can take her act on the road. "I think the rest of the country is ready for pudding wrestling."

Seriously? First of all Patrick won by less than five points. So if the boy wasn't overscored in the short program he wouldn't have won. May I point out to you that Patrick's crappy skate got only 3 points less than Adam Rippons wonderful skate in the short program.The point about He Kexin losing is not quite the same as Patrick winning here. She lost in the Bars final, one part of the competition. The more relevant comparison would be to compare the Bars final with the short program, which Patrick (overscored - I'll agree there) didn't win. If He Kexin was competing AA, she still had a chance (small) to win it all and it's possible that she could have. Patrick won the competition based on a crappy program and a brilliant program (even with one fall).
I haven't changed my mind in what I've wanted from this sport. I've been complaining for years that messy programs are rewarded to much and that the quad isn't reward enough. So what I wanted as a fan was for a cleanly landed quad to be worth more points, but also wanted to see a fall on a messed up quad heavily penalized. That's not asking to much as a fan.Honestly, people seem to change their minds about what they want over and over again. Some want to see perfect programs, some want to see quads, some want to see difficulty, some want artistry and some want it all. And next week, they'll be arguing against whatever they wanted last week. Gah skating fans!!!
All I want as a fan of the sport is to see that the actual skate a skater puts out matters. I'm starting to hate PCS because its clear that the actual skate doesn't matter. That's the program and the evualation of the skaters skills a long time ago that matters. And so Daisuke Takahashi can fall 3 times at NHK last year, and still get the highest PCS of the night.
All I want from this sport is that Laura Lepisto can't beat a skater like Cynthia Phaneuf when Cynthia lands triples and Laura lands doubles.
And I'll say this, I'm fine with a high quality skater making one major mistake, and maybe two minor mistakes and still winning due to the quality of his skate. I've got no issues with Patrick Chan winning the free program. I've got no issue with Daisuke Takahashi's bronze at the Olympics the rest of his skate was great). I don't want this to be just a jump contest.
But when we start bordering on heavily messy with multiple falls and stumbles, And I see huge scores for these skates, as a fan of this sport I get angry. Its not what I want to see and there's no rule book that Wally lutz or anyone can show me that can convince me that this is a fair system.
I see the Mens FP is no longer locked like it was earlier today, thus I copy & paste my comments from the Mens SP (put it in its proper place):
Oops, have to post my Mens LP thoughts here, as the official thread is now closed: (8^o
Don't have time to read all 26 pages of this thread, but wanted to add my own, lol, as I just now watched the Mens Lps on IN: And here are my thoughts:
Kevin Reynolds could have easily won this competition hands down, that was the huge disappointment for me personally as a fan of his. Oddly, the same thing happened to him at 2010 4CC, where he was the leader after the SP (here he almost tied for the lead with Oda). And he said the reason why he fell apart in the LP at 4CC was because he wasn't used to being in the lead. Well, Kev, you better get used to being in the lead here on in with those two quads you have in the SP & the two in the LP, nobody else but you does it! *clapping* I think you worked so much this past summer on being the first man in history to land two quads in the SP (which you did, yeah!), that you let slide your other jumps, namely the 3A. Once you land everything you have planned you'll dominate!!!!! My God, I can't believe how far you've come in one year -- your SP was great, but your LP was phenomenal! Loved every beautiful second of it...like a dream your choreography & execution...long beautiful classical lines, spiral into 3T gorgeous, every element flowed from one to the other, it was over way too soon, and that's the truth. I could've watched you all day long. Ah....
Adam Rippon was my second favorite program. Beautiful classical skater in the same vein as John Curry. Loved the whole thing ~ music, choreography, skater, program, et al ~ only thing I was disappointed in was the shaky landings on some of his jumps, and most importantly no quad. This entire competition was a definite wake-up call for both you & your coach. Without the quad, you can't win unless those that quad fall, and that's not the way to win. And you won't settle for anything less, as it should be.
Patrick Chan was a delight as well! He reminds me of Adam Rippon in not only body type but classical style as well, and lol both had shaky landings on their jumps in the FS. Except Patrick has now joined the elite ~ he quads!!!!! *clapping* Because he nows quads, his skating just went up a notch, and that means he's a danger to everybody else out there. That said, the fall here, but especially the 3 falls in the SP leaves me uneasy. Yes, he definitely deserved to medal, but I'm not sure what color, yet. Then again, those above him threw the competition away with their own faults, especially Kevin Reynolds, who could've easily won this competition if he had landed everything he planned. Therefore, I'm not really outraged, it's not the Olympics after all. That's a whole other ballgame. I honestly cannot remember a skater that has ever won the gold with a fall in either the SP or especially the LP. Now that would be a true outrage, which is the reason why Daisuke Takahashi rightfully finished in 3rd at the 2010 Olympics, because of the fall on the quad.
Nobunari Oda's FS was a bit of a letdown for me, actually a huge letdown, I expected more from him in terms of choreography, et al. The SP was such a masterpiece, which makes it all the more painful to see his LP. No choreography, no beginning/middle/ending, no nothing. I didn't like it at all, unfortunately, because I really like Nobunari himself. And he threw away what little lead he had after the SP when he fell in the LP. Better luck next time, warlord!
That's it, nobody else impressed me in the FS, just the aforementioned top dogs.
And who determines who is more talented than who? I don't want the most talented skater to win, I want the person who skates the best in the competition to win. That's what makes it a competition. Part of the fun of what made Yagudin so great to watch in the past was the fact that Yagudin would DELIVER in crunch time. Its what made Michelle Kwan great, and Tara Lipinski great.Originally Posted by stickle
I beg to disagree. It's absolutely fair because the scores reward the talent level of the different skaters.
That's the fun of watching golf for me, to see who stands up to the pressure and deliver and who doesn't. If its just about the most talented golfer winning, than they shouldn't even bother to have a golf competition because we know that's Tiger. But what makes Tiger so great is Tiger-actually has to deliver on his talent. Otherwise he loses.
If Chan can have a 3fall lead over good skaters like Adam and Oda, than this isn't a competition-its a beauty contest.
But PCS aside, how should we value the various elements? That's the subjective part. Some people, like me, believe a quad, as long as it is a quad in terms of rotation, should be sufficiently rewarded to justify attempting it in the first place as opposed to a safer jump, fall or not (eg 2A in Blades of Passion's example). It takes a certain amount of talent and hard work to even have a chance of landing it successfully, which is why I'd rather try and encourage skaters to go for broke rather than play safe. Heavy penalties will inevitably result in risk-averse behaviour. Others, like Mathman, think otherwise and that a fall must be penalized sufficiently harshly to stop skaters from jumping and falling anyway because they will still get more points (eg Jeff Buttle). So how much should we value a fall on any jump? 0? 25%? 50%? How much is too much?
It all boils down to how badly we think skaters should be penalized for poor execution of any element (eg wrong edge, step out, fall, wobbles etc). Should we have a mandatory -3 deduction for wrong edge take off because by default, the skater is not even doing the correct jump per se? Maybe. It all depends on your personal take. I don't think there's a definite answer. Which makes this debate a lot of fun. (:
I really wouldn't call it a beauty contest (please Chan is certainly not handsome) or even a rigged one, going by TES alone. The judges did score him according to the rules and all the skaters are aware of exactly how much each element is valued. Same thing with Lepisto and her double jumps. PCS is another matter but for what it's worth, personally I didn't think the falls affected his performance that much. He certainly didn't skate around for ages like a deer caught in headlights. Got straight back into the programme, transitions and all. That is my personal opinion, so feel free to disagree.
Hmmm. In his two SC skates, Chan attempted two quads, fell on one and landed the other. That's a 50% success rate. He attempted three 3As, fell on two and the one he landed in the FS was wonky. That's a 33% success rate. Many of his easier jumps in the FS had wonky landings also. Maybe he should take a cue from Kostner and stick to the easier jumps and focus on performance so that his 'Phantom' has some character.
Somehow, I don't think the judges are going to be so anxious to "give me the marks" (in Chan's words) if he skates the same way in Russia.
I can't believe my eyes that Patrick Chan had the guts to actually go on and do a beautiful quad! He even went on and put quad in both SP and LP! Good for him! It at least softened a little for his usual cocky attitude.
It was so unfortunate that he got the fourth place with 3 hard falls in SP which enabled him to win. It was not Skate Canada's fault. A group of international judges gave it to him. I just don't understand the bitterness so many posters here have towards Canada.
Of these two past GP events for men, NHK was artistic at it's best, while Skate Canada was a power house. Can't you believe it that the power house in Canada?
nice job from patrick, nice of quad
adam-nice job

She is beautiful. I have an English that looks just like her, an 8 month old male we have named Oliver we are raising for Leader Dog for the Blind out of Rochester, Michigan. He is the fourth we have raised and once again, he is one of the loves of my life. Many people say they couldn't do what we do because they could not give them up. And raising them for a year and then giving them back is one of the very hardest things to do, but seeing a guide dog working, giving someone confidence and independence makes it all worthwhile. It is very rewarding to see a new owner love our puppy just as much as we did. Best wishes to you and Miss Meadow, may you have a long, blessed relationship.

TCF bank pays off TARP, pays extra to dump Treasury control
posted at 2:13 pm on April 24, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Local banker Bill Cooper, who runs TCF Bank in the Twin Cities, has established himself as a tough-as-nails businessman and has won the admiration of many in this area. Today's announcement exemplifies why. Cooper has repaid the TARP funds in order to get Treasury off his back, even though he had to pay a premium to do so:
TCF Financial Corporation announced Wednesday that it had completed the repurchase of its TARP preferred stock from the U.S. Treasury. It paid a redemption price of $361.2 million plus accrued dividends of $3.4 million.
TCF Chairman and CEO William A. Cooper said the bank had maintained a strong capital position over the last year through its own operations, and it didn't need to rely on the public capital infusion to continue its traditional lending pace. Cooper said TCF is the largest bank to pay back TARP funds to the U.S. Treasury.
But that didn't come without Treasury getting one last shot at dictating business terms to Cooper:
As part of the agreement for withdrawing from the program, TCF also agreed to reduce its first-quarter dividend from 25 cents to 5 cents.
In other words, Treasury just cut 80% of the revenue for the stockholders as a penalty for early repayment of the TARP funds. Does that make sense to anyone else? Shouldn't Treasury reward fiscal responsibility in its banks by allowing owners (stockholders) to realize their profit? King Banaian calls it a "ransom":
Contemplate that last sentence: The government required TCF to drop its dividend in order to repay its loan. Would a bank be allowed to make you drop your kid's allowance from $5 a week to $1 before you could pay off the auto loan early? Banks in trouble often end up in agreements with the Fed that include seeking permission to pay any dividends, but banks were brought into TARP as a matter of solidarity, even patriotism. Solidarity isn't free, I guess.
How many pints of blood will be taken from the others?
It shows pretty clearly that at least a good part of the motivation behind TARP liquidity injections was to gain control of bank operations, and not just to rescue the banking sector. Forcing Cooper and TCF stockholders to pay a ransom in order to get their bank back is counterintuitive under any other scenario.
Still, I'm betting that Cooper is happy to pay it off in order to get the Treasury out of his affairs. I wonder how many others Cooper will inspire to force Treasury to accept repayment of TARP funds?

"We've taken something that's been around since Edison and turned it into a way of transmitting information." -Dan Ryan, CTO of ByteLight
Dan Ryan and Aaron Ganick, both Electrical Engineers, met at Boston University as undergrads. They became quick friends as they continued to bump into each other in class and around campus. Little did they know that a common childhood passion and a local science museum would play prominent roles in shaping their futures.
At the 2011 TEDGlobal conference, Harald Haas demonstrated sending data through LED lights to project video onto a screen without an external wi-fi source. However, Dan and Aaron, recent Boston University Grads, invented a unique extension of this breakthrough–using LED lights to transmit location information to mobile devices within buildings. Even Google, which relies on wi-fi for mapping the insides of buildings, has not been terribly successful in mapping interior locations.
Enter ByteLight, Aaron's and Dan's small start-up based entirely around proprietary software that can accurately map the inside of buildings using only LED lighting to transmit location information. So, with the trend toward LED lighting replacing fluorescents in many buildings throughout the world and the continued growth of mobile smart devices, LED lights that broadcast location data stands to revolutionize how we interact within shopping malls, museums, trade shows, office buildings, factories, and even airports and airplanes.

"The sponsors of Proposition 8 and their committee, Protect Marriage, have argued in their appeal that California voters were entitled to choose a traditional definition of marriage."
I disagree, this is an issue for the courts to decide. Prop 8 passed with only about 53 percent of the vote (even parcel taxes have failed to pass with more support than that) :
Web Link
So really, we have almost half of voters in California against prop 8 (myself included).
Loving v Virginia decided that interracial couples had the right to marry, we did not let voters decide, it was the courts.
This prop 8 issue is no different, courts should decide, and hopefully they will say that prop 8 is unconstitutional and allow same sex marriages to resume in CA.

So, Resident, you seem very informed on this matter. Do you think the court's decision on interracial marriage was a good thing, or no? I've never been able to make up my mind on this one. Help!

I don't see how inter-racial marriage has had a negative impact on my life or on the lives of my family and friends.
If people with a different racial/ethnic heritage want to marry one another, far be it from me to say no.
If you're in the USA and you can't appreciate the rights of individuals to choose a partner, then perhaps you should consider going back to where your ancestors came from. You might be happier.

I believe that all Americans have a right to choose who they want to marry.
As I see it, different strokes for different folks. I don't care who somebody else chooses to marry. It's none of my business.
Happy Trails whoever you marry.

"So, Resident, you seem very informed on this matter. Do you think the court's decision on interracial marriage was a good thing, or no? I've never been able to make up my mind on this one. Help! "
I assume you are being sarcastic. Of course the decision on interracial marriage was a good one! And the courts should now give those same rights to same sex couples. I do not understand those who claim that same sex marriages hurt traditional marriages, how? All same sex couples are asking is to have the same rights as other couples. I hope the courts soon decide to make same sex marriage legal.

Two visions of the electorate
The Reagan coalition that began to grow in the 1970s and brought Reagan to the White House and won the House for the GOP in 1994 is shrinking. Republicans can't just keep trying to put it back together. It's just not statistically possible.
In addition, the GOP "brand" has taken a big hit in recent years. Many voters still blame former George W. Bush for the economic crisis, and my hunch is that the Iraq War has done quiet but substantial damage to the Republican party as well, calling into question its overall competency and turning off isolationist-minded voters. In addition, the comments of Todd Akin reinforced the unfair image of the GOP as a party of men looking to take away the freedoms of women and return the country to the 1950s…
The first step to solving any problem is to admit that you have one. Many (though not all) on the right have been unwilling to admit that very real demographic changes are tilting the electoral map towards the Democrats. Conservatives have tried to convince themselves that turning Arkansas and West Virginia from blue to red will help stem the tide, but what good does it do to win these states yet see Florida, Virginia, Nevada, and Colorado slipping away from the GOP?

Legandary warbirds bring back memories for vets
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Historic warplanes are on display in Colorado Springs, providing a journey to the past for veterans.
Ten World War II-era fighters and bombers can be found at the National Museum of World War II Aviation Memorial Day through Wednesday May 29.
Some who watched the aircraft take off Monday remember being in the pilot's seat.
"We flew the longest fighter mission of the war," said Clifton Connell, a retired Fighter Squad Captain. "Nine hours, 20 minutes. We just sat in that P-47."
Retired Air Force Chief Master Sargent John Lopes didn't fly these planes, but he remembers them from his boyhood in Hawaii.
"They protected me when I was a kid," Lopes said.
He was just five years old when he witnessed the attack on Pearl Harbor.
"On December 7, 1941, I shared breath with 2000 GIs who died so we could be free," Lopes said, tearing up. "And I just hope somebody understands the cost of that freedom."
Lopes says what he saw inspired him to join the Air Force. He now works at the museum, proud to share his history with new generations.
"Here in this venue, with these World War II airplanes that are so steeped in the history that I love, the history that I know, I'm finally home," Lopes said.
The planes are from the museum and also the Texas Flying Legends Museum of Houston. Nine of the aircraft will do the flyover Wednesday for the Air Force Academy graduation.
The National Museum of World War II Aviation is located at 755 Aviation Way and open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
Admission fees at the door are $10.00 for adults, $6.00 for children and free for WWII vets. Prepaid admission discounts and more information is available here.

OIT issues warning on fake UTSA e-mails
By Alex Morones
Technical Writer and Editor, Office of Information Technology
(June 12, 2008)--The UTSA Office of Information Technology (OIT) has issued a warning about spoof e-mail messages that say they come from "UTSA Maintenance," which is not a valid e-mail address and is not a UTSA department.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
This latest round of spoof messages claims that personal information is needed in order to "help fight against spam mails." The e-mail also has many misspellings. The message requests a user's password, secret question and date of birth, among other items. OIT will never ask for this information via e-mail or phone.
>> View the fake UTSA e-mail that some UTSA employees received this week.
The e-mail is an example of "phishing" -- an attempt to get users to reveal personal information. Phishing attempts can come from various senders with varied subject lines. Providing personal information in response to a phishing e-mail message can make you a victim of identity theft.
For more information, visit the UTSA Office of Information Technology Web site.
How to spot a spoof or phishing e-mail message
- Appears to be sent from an address other than "Office of Information Technology" (examples: email@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com or email@example.com)
- Contains misspelled words and poor grammar (many phishing attempts are created by non-native English speakers)
- Asks you to provide personally identifiable information such as user ID or password (Note: UTSA's network technicians will never ask you to provide your password over the phone or via e-mail.)
- Asks you to click on a link or attachment to provide information

Press Release: 14 October 2011
The Gift of Knowledge: Exhibition of material from the Sir Denis Mahon library and archive to go on display at the National Gallery of Ireland
A number of rare and antiquarian volumes together with a selection of unique archive material from the collection gifted to the National Gallery of Ireland by the scholar and collector, Sir Denis Mahon, will go on display in the Print Gallery from Monday, 17 October 2011, as part of a special exhibition, The Gift of Knowledge: Enriching the Library and Archive Collections.
In 2010, Sir Denis presented his entire personal library and archive to the National Gallery of Ireland. The collection comprises thousands of volumes reflecting the scholarly interests of the donor, documenting art in the Western European tradition from classical times onwards. Featuring in the exhibition will be a first edition of Giorgio Vasari's Vite (Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects), the seminal source for information on Italian artists up to 1550; a number of prints after the seventeenth-century Italian artist, Guercino, as well as family memorabilia, letters and photographs. Also on display will be the cheque for Mahon's first purchase in Paris in 1934, Jacob Blessing the Sons of Joseph by Guercino, now part of the Gallery's collection, for which he paid £120.
Andrea Lydon, Head of Library and Archives in the National Gallery of Ireland, says: "Sir Denis Mahon's remarkable gift of his personal library and archive will add significantly to the Gallery's research facilities and is an important scholarly resource which will be built on and developed into the future. The material in this exhibition celebrates how donations such as these have transformed the NGI Library and Archives into a resource of international status."
Sir Denis Mahon, who was of Irish descent, passed away in April of this year at the age of 100. He studied at Eton and Oxford before embarking on a life of collecting, writing and campaigning for the arts.
Raymond Keaveney, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland says: "The Gallery is delighted to have acquired such an important collection with such rich and varied holdings. Sir Denis was one of the most influential art historians and collectors of the twentieth century, as well as a close friend and generous benefactor of the Gallery. In presenting an exhibition of Sir Denis Mahon's most recent gift alongside material from the Centre for the Study of Irish Art and Yeats Archive, the Gallery pays tribute to the generosity of individuals who have contributed to the development of our research collections and recognises the cultural and educational importance of libraries and archives in contributing to our knowledge of art and artists."
The exhibition also brings together material and art works from the Gallery's Centre for the Study of Irish Art (CSIA) and Yeats Archive.
The CSIA research facility opened in the Millennium Wing in 2002 to support and promote the study of Irish art. Since its inception, it has developed into a valuable and substantial resource through the generous donation of material from scholars, historians and the descendants of Irish artists. On display, as part of the exhibition, will be the recently acquired collection of papers relating to Aloysius O'Kelly, as well as archives relating to Frederic William Burton, Walter Osborne, Augustus Burke and the sculptor, Andrew O'Connor.
The Yeats Archive was established following a generous donation in 1996 by the late Anne Yeats (d.2001) which includes 205 sketchbooks, over 400 books and a significant amount of personal papers belonging to her uncle, Jack B. Yeats (1871-1957). The exhibition will showcase a number of pieces from this gift; stencil prints, watercolours and illustrated letters by Jack B. Yeats and his father, John B. Yeats; woodcuts and embroidery by Susan Mary (Lilly) Yeats and Elizabeth Corbet (Lolly) Yeats. It will also feature the Olympic medal awarded to Jack Yeats for his painting, The Liffey Swim (1923), now part of the Gallery's collection.
The Gift of Knowledge: Enriching the Library and Archive Collections. 17 October to 15 December 2011. National Gallery of Ireland.Admission free.
An accompanying brochure to the exhibition will be available from the Print Gallery. See www.nationalgallery.ie/Research/GiftOfKnowledge.
Related links to the exhibition will go live on the NGI website on Monday 17 October.

Duracoat is a two part mix, even mixed right, I've had it flake off. I won't use it anymore. Some people swear by it.
I use KG GunKote, no mixing, but you have to bake it. I've had very good luck with it. I think it comes in FDE also.
I just had a friend build me a custom AR and will post pics after work tonight . Need some help understanding duracoat and gun finishes in general. I had this rifle finished I. Flat dark earth duracoat, have not yet fired it, however the paint seems REALLY REALLY fragile and weak. Is there a better paint alternative or are all paints fragile
Pics to come

Duracoat always held up great for me.
Are you sure that they used Duracoat?
Alumahyde II is a great paint but takes a few weeks for it to cure
from what i understand the prep work is critical with any of those types of finishes.
i do not have enough experience with them to give you much advice.
i did use some of the bake on to do small parts and so far the finish seems very hard.
the main reason i don't do more is the finish is pretty expensive and i am one of those that don't mind too much a worn looking shooting iron.
i may do some ar stuff one day--probably colt gray--
I enjoy Krylon
In my experience Duracoat is hit or miss. Looking forward to the pic though... I love AR's.

Any recs on so.some that does quality work...blasting and powder coating I mean?
I know people that swear by cerakote, but I have seen it come off way too easy. Prep is the key.

Well, I just learned that aluminum can't be parked? Any suggestions on anodizing service?
